Android Emulator not running on AMD processor

Question

After October 2018 I know the Android Emulator was able to be run on AMD but required a few steps to be taken. I followed all of them:

• I have an AMD Ryzen 5 processor
• I'm using Android Studio 3.3
• I have Android Emulator 28.0.23
• I'm using an x86 Android Virtual Device
• 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' is enabled
• SVM was enabled in the BIOS

After all of this it was working on my pc for about 2 months. Then one day I tried to run an AVD and the error below appeared.

Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why all of a sudden it stopped working?

Answer 1

I've been getting the same problem as you with Ryzen 3 2200g

What I did was:

1. From Tools- SDK Manager - SDK Tools Disable Intelx86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer)

Then, when I tried to run AVD, for the first time I got a pop up saying that x86 images are recommended.

Pop up

I created a x86 system image (Nougat API 25) and finally it was working.

Also previously I did the same as you:

1. Enable Windows Hypervisor Platform (then reboot)
2. Enable CPU Virtualization from BIOS

I hope this solutions fits you. Happy coding :)
