'Unable to install Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processor
I am unable to install Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processor.
It is to be noted that virtualization is enabled.
Emulator Process for AVD was killed shown while running the code in Visual Studio while trying to install the Hypervisor Driver in Android Studio.
Error is also shown in Android Studio while installing the Hypervisor Driver:
What to do now? Thanks.

If you are using AVAST antivirus, It will not work .. So open Avast antivirus UI and go to Menu / Setting / troubleshooting and clear the tick on (( Enable hardware-assisted virtualization )) and restart. It will be installed.

First you should try to see if you have Hyper-V enabled. In most cases, the newer computers use it for hardware acceleration but it doesn't share with other virtualization apps, so to run this on an AMD or Intel VT-x first check if you have Hyper-V installed (go to your control panel, then in Programs and Features window, click “Turn Windows features on or off.” then look for Hyper-V and clear the checkbox then click OK.
If that doesn't work check your BIOS permissions, you can go to advanced CPU configuration or chipset and find the "Intel Virtualization Technology", enable this option, then Save and Exit.

This method by Tamer works for me but you have to restart your computer for it to be effective.

I had the same challenge when trying to add Bluestacks as an emulator in Android Studio and this was my solution. Open PowerShell as Admin and do this command:
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V
A restart should follow and all should be fine.

I'm not sure why you tried installing an AMD Virtualization driver for your Intel-CPU. As other people already suggested, try to install the Intel-Driver instead.
The installation probably failed because the program detected your not using an amd-cpu, so there's no point in installing it.
