title: No accelerator found - failed to create HAX VM
body: <p>I am unable to launch any emulators on Android Studio. When trying to launch an emulator, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to create vm ffffffff
  Failed to create HAX VM
  No accelerator found.
  failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument
  Hax is enabled
  Hax ram_size 0x80000000`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have uninstalled Intel HAXM, installed it again, restarted Android studio, tried different system images, and tweaked heap space for the emulator. I have tried different device images, different API levels, and have tried switching emulated performance from auto to both hardware and software to no avail. Nothing I have tried has worked. Here are my emulator's details:</p>

  <p>Following instructions from Intel's docs, I ran the command <code>kextstat | grep intel</code> to verify the HAXM installation and got the following return:</p>
  
  <p><code>154    0 0xffffff7f82ae4000 0x14000    0x14000    com.intel.kext.intelhaxm (6.0.3) &lt;7 5 4 3 1&gt;</code></p>
