Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors

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.

Download and Install

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:

  1. CPU has virtualization extension and BIOS has NOT disabled the extension.
  2. Hyper-V must be disabled. Refer to this page for more 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

For Windows 7 users

According to Microsoft, SHA1 driver signing is deprecated (Read more here ). Version 1.8 (or above) cannot be loaded on Windows 7 by default. Please use version 1.7 instead. Users may disable driver signature enforcement in order to use version 1.8 or above.
