Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors is a hypervisor to accelerate Android Emulator. It is made by porting KVM to Windows (Windows 7 or later, 64bit).
Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors runs as a Windows driver. User space support for Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors is available from Android Emulator.
Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors is released through android-studio. However, only Android Studio with version 4.0 canary 5 or above can both download and install/update the driver. Otherwise, the Android Studio will only download the driver package without performing installation. In the latter case, users are required to install the driver manually.
Prerequisite:
- CPU has virtualization extension and BIOS has NOT disabled the extension.
- Hyper-V must be disabled. Please be noted Hyper-V could be enabled silently by other Windows features, such as Credential Guard. Please consult Microsoft for detailed information.
Install Instruction:
Use an administrator command console to execute "silent_install.bat" inside the driver package. Make sure you see the desired output from the installer: STATE: 4 RUNNING

As its name suggests, Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors is developed and tested on AMD platform. We only make our best effort in keeping Intel Processor support.
