It doesn’t actually happen on a proper PC with Windows. You open it up again, you launch the emulator and… boom! The nice blue screen appears to inform you that the whole Windows crashed! What’s going on? Why is this happening? Let’s take a look at the issue.Īfter doing some research, it looks like this issue is quite specific to Intel HAXM running on Windows installed on a Mac (in my case a MacBook Pro). Then you close the emulator, you put your laptop to sleep. You’ve finally set up everything, then you install Intel HAXM and start your Android emulator. You’ve just installed Windows on your Mac with the help of Boot Camp.

This issue appears for me on Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update on a mid-2014 MacBook Pro with Intel HAXM 6.2.1, but from the forums on the web it looks like people had this issue for years even with previous versions of Windows, usually when running on a Mac. The post refers to the Android emulator, but actually it might apply to any virtual machine taking advantage of the hardware acceleration provided by Intel HAXM (Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager). I’m writing this post because I’ve seen many people struggling to find a solution and I couldn’t fin d a proper one anywhere, so I hope this is going to help you solve this issue.
