Question

_{Monday, November 5, 2018 7:10 PM}

Operating system: Windows Pro 10 - 64bits (1803)
CPU: Intel Core i3-4330

Hello,

I am using Visual Studio Community 2017 (15.8.8). When I run the android emulator I am getting this warning:

" To start Android Emulator Android_Accelerated_x86_Oreo in Hyper-V, you must have installed and enabled Windows Hypervisor Platform.

Set it to Enable or Disable Windows features."

Hyper-V is checked. But I do not see the option of "Windows Hypervisor Platform":

Saludos / Regards

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Finally I solved following these steps:

1- Uncheck Hyper-V
2- Restart computer
3- Check this option (Tools - Android - Sdk Manager - Intel x86 Emulator accelerator).

Now Android emulator works fine. UWP emulator, too.

Saludos / Regards

Hi yaeko.m,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

I tried to reproduce your issue on my environment (my environment is Windows 10 Enter 1803). but I find the Windows Hypervisor Platform feature exists in turn windows features on or off.

Now, please open Windows PowerShell with administrator privilege -> type command line: WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName *Hyper-V* -> press Enter. Have a look if the Hyper-V Platform in the list.

If yes, you can run command line: enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Microsoft-Hyper-V" –All.  Wait for minutes and you will see the prompt, type “Y” -> then your PC will reboot. After that, test your project again.

If not, it indicates that your system may be corrupted. Please try to run command line sfc / scannow to replace potentially corrupted system files. Besides, if all solution above cannot fix it, I recommend you to download Windows ISO file to reinstall OS, please refer to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 .

BTW, If possible, you can check if following thread is helpful: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2018/05/08/hyper-v-android-emulator-support/ .

Best Regards
