IndiaAIFounders — Google recommends WHPX over AEHD on Windows

If you use the Android Emulator on Windows, Google now recommends using Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) instead of the Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver (AEHD).

Google says AEHD will be sunset on December 31, 2026, so Windows users should begin switching to WHPX. WHPX is the better long-term option, especially if you also use Hyper-V, WSL2, Docker, or other virtualization features.

You can check your emulator’s acceleration with:

emulator -accel-check

(you need to add emulator to your PATH, found under "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe")

The result should show that WHPX is installed and usable.
