Hi Volker, I need to take back something I said - my error! 😊. I got fooled a bit, let me try to explain.
I ran the "stock" download, the Windows version that QEMU points to (web site). It does say it's v4.2.0, but seems it's not quite, it's v4.2.0 with some more recent updates (but version number not showing that). It fails when trying to use haxm. So I went back, built "real" v4.2.0 myself (from scratch, to make sure) ... and haxm works, just like you said. I also updated to the master, and applied the patch from below ... now that works as well. Thanks! I can close out this bug report if you want, or leave it open until this patch is in the master - whatever you prefer. And I can update the bug report if you want. Please just let me know how you want it handled. Thanks again for the help! ...
