Emulator: incompatible hax module version 3,requires minimum version 4

Question

Problem :

I have very recently updated my Android Studio version and since then I am working on a version 3.1.2. The old device which was configured on the version 2.1 caused following error first after that I tried to configure it on new device with the same parameters the API 24 Nougat 7.0 and Screen 5.1. this device is responsible for the following error.

10:58   Emulator: Incompatible HAX module version 3,requires minimum version 4

10:58   Emulator: No accelerator found.

10:58   Emulator: failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

Please note my OS is Windows 8.

How to resolve above error?

Answer 1

I had faced the same error in the past while I was running Android Studio on my windows and after that I did research on the issue and I realized that I must start the HAXM installer manually so that I can use it:

I went to my Android SDK folder in my case it was C:\Users\[user's name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\ and there I found that intelhaxm-android.exe file, I clicked on the file and allowed it to finish

The installation process after that I launched my avd device again then it ran properly for me.

Hope this solution will help you in resolving your issues.
