    Also just a note for others out there, I have found that even if you disable Hyper-V and install HAXM you can still be blindsided if you are working on any Dockerized projects. If you install Docker Desktop it will silently turn Hyper-V back on. It wont show in the Windows features section either. You have to manually run

    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

    to turn it off and then restart. Buuuuut when you do that, you've now made it so that you cant develop your docker projects locally....

    Hi there,

    There are many reports regarding this issue and hopefully a official fix might be released .
    Meanwhile you can try out the below steps and see if they are helpful to you .

    Disable Hyper-V (Keep in mind WSL2 or any VM won't work without this)
    To disable Hyper-V you must follow these steps:

    Open Turn Windows features on or off.
    Uncheck Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor platform (it may be required to uncheck Windows Sandbox).
    Open Android Studio and SDK Manager.
    In SDK tools, install Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors (installer)
