Troubleshoot
Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization. Here are some of your options:
1) Use a physical device for testing
2) Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX
3) Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM
4) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)

Please suggest how I can fix it to run android emulator on my system with android studio for development purpose.

Answer 1

Our environments are almost the same, but the Mac OS X versions are different.

It works on my Apple M2. I use arm64-v8a. I have the same version of Android Studio as yours.

But my Mac OS X version is 13.5.

This is the only different thing I can find for you. I hope this information can give you more helpful input.

By the way, there is more detailed information in the following.

Click the Copy properties to clipboard and I can see.
