Running Intel® HAXM installer takes forever with Android Studio Setup Wizard on Windows 10

EDIT: As pointed out in https://stackoverflow.com/a/54053514/2279059, this driver is only needed for the Android virtual device. If you don't need it (it is useful for debugging, etc.), just see that other answer about how to disable the virtual device in the installer.

This workaround did it for me on a relatively fresh Windows 10 PC:

1. Kill the installer process
2. Download the Intel HAXM driver from https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm
3. From that ZIP file, run haxm_android.exe
4. If it complains about Hyper-V, disable Hyper-V: dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All (or see https://www.poweronplatforms.com/enable-disable-hyper-v-windows-10-8/), then run it again.
5. Run the Android Studio installer again, selecting "Uninstall Previous Version".

There is also a long checklist in another StackOverflow question for installing the Intel HAXM driver somewhere, but I could not find it again. Feel free to edit if you can find it. There are also lots of (semi-)duplicates of this question begging for cleanup and maybe assembling one answer with all the steps and things to check, not just what I had to do on my machine. If you are still stuck after reading this, keep looking around.

Intel HAXM is required to run the app on the emulator (Android Virtual Device).Unfortunately for me my computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology so what I did is uncheck Android Virtual Device during installation and test run all my app in my phone instead.

The same thing was happening with me. I just then closed the android studio and restarted the PC.

After this, I opened Android Studio and everything worked fine.
