Error: Incompatible HAX module version 3, requires minimum version 4 in Android Studio

Sometimes it is needed to create virtual device while working on android studio that I did on working in an android project. But when tried to launch the device some errors occurred as follows:

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

Emulator: No accelerator found.

Emulator: failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

So found the solution to sort this out as follows:

Steps:

Android Studio: Tools -> SDK Manager

Under Default Settings:

Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK:

You should see “Android SDK Location” with text field. Copy that location and search through in your windows explorer. For me the location is: “C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk” in this location navigate through other segment like: 

\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager so the full path is: 

C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

And there find the file name “intelhaxm-android.exe” and click on it to install. 

After installing it launch again the AVD device.

Cool! It’s done J
