    @Chowdhary, Rutvik

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    This is not a limitation of Azure Virtual Desktop, but for the Android Simulator.
    I would recommend you to check if you are using a VM type that supports nested virtualization and enable it. With that, you will get limited support for it.

    The simulator is primarily designed to run in a physical device.

    However, I found a similar issue here which had a similar error "currently requires hardware acceleration"

    Hope this helps.
