VT-x not working, even tho it's enabled in bios and my CPU supports it

android, android-emulator, eclipse

Solution

Some antivirus prevent Haxm installation. In my case -- Avast : settings tab -> troubleshooting -> uncheck "enable hardware-assisted virtualization" Solved the problem

Problem

I tried to make my android emulator work faster and as the title says, I can't get to install HAXM driver on my laptop. I've looked everywhere and did everything people suggested on other pages. Intel Virtualization Technology in bios is enabled. Updated Eclipse tools etc. Downloaded driver directly, instead of throguh Eclipse manager. I even tried to disable Hyper-V in Windows functions but it's not there. I still get the following error when trying to install the driver: (Can't post images so I will just rewrite it) "This computer meets the requirements for HAXM, but Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) is not turned on. HAXM can be installed, but will not work until VT-x is enabled." As I said before, it is ENABLED in bios so I have no idea what's the problem. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
