Android emulator on Hyper V error
Microsoft recently announced support for running android emulator on hyper V (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2018/05/08/hyper-v-android-emulator-support/)
I am trying to start the Android emulator 27.2.9.0 on my Windows 10 (April 2018 Update) Hyper V enabled machine with the following command line:
> cd C:Users<username>AppDataLocalAndroidsdkemulatorlibqtlib
> ......emulator -avd <avd name> -feature WindowsHypervisorPlatform
And i am getting the following erroe message:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: Please disable Hyper-V before using the Android Emulator. Start a command prompt as Administrator, run 'bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off', reboot.
I have added the “WindowsHypervisorPlatform = on” line to C:Users.androidadvancedFeatures.ini, but that didn't help.
What am I missing?

Well, it turned out that I had "Hyper-V" enabled, but "Windows Hypervisor Platform" was not enabled. (Who knew these are two different things!). Once it was enabled the emulator started to work.

Just enable "Windows Hypervisor Platform" (in turn windows features on and off screen) and x86 images should automatically become usable

There are a few things I did to get this working on my pc.
- Install Visual Studio 15.8 Preview 1 or later
- Remove and Reinstall the emulator within the Visual Studio Preview
- I removed HAXM from the "Extras" within the android sdk manager (from
the visual studio menu). - The path for the advancedFeatures.ini is C:UsersYour UsernameadvancedFeatures.ini to set WindowsHypervisorPlatform = on
- Open Turn Windows features on or off and select Hyper-V and the Windows Hypervisor Platform checkboxes. (Requires restart)
