Visual Studio Error - This Emulator Does Not Have Hardware Acceleration Enabled In Xamarin And .NET MAUI
Good day! After switching laptops and running some of my Xamarin Forms projects and simple .NET Maui applications, I encountered this error This Emulator Does Not Have Hardware Acceleration. Since this is a new laptop, I need to setup and enable the firmware virtualization and Hyper-V for Windows 10 operating system. First is I need to open the BIOS interface of the laptop and look for the Virtualization Technology under Security tab. By default, it's disabled Next is to enable it and then save changes. After modifying the BIOS settings for virtualization, you need to enable Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform checkboxes thru the Turn Windows Features On or Off application. Then restart your laptop or machine. Once I made those changes, I was able to run my applications using the Android emulator in Visual Studio. Cheers!
