Emulator hax module

I created a virtual device with SDK-manager and started the emulator. The device screen appears, but I get a black screen. Android Studio tells me this... "emulator: Failed to open the hax module HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode" What can I do?

Sounds like you're trying to use an INTEL emulator instead of the ARM one. Your best bet is to switch to ARM, which is easier to set up. The Intel versions run faster but require additional setup work. If you're interested in that, at least get the ARM version working and then try an Intel one.
