We were trying to launch android emulator from D4 v3 series windows azure VM and received the warning ( Refer attached screenshot).If the Android Studio emulator hangs with a black screen, try checking the LogCat messages and try switching graphics mode The problem is the emulator stuck with the black screen although HAXM works well: HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode Most solutions suggest to uncheck use host gpu in AVD Manager, yet it seems this feature no longer appear in the new version of Android Studio Android emulator hanging with black screen - Jan Changed this to hardware graphics, started the emulator again and noticed that it started normally. Noticed that the emulator was configured to use software graphics.
