Using the Android emulator in a Windows virtual machine can result in a blue screen.

When using the Android emulator in a Windows virtual machine, if the 64-bit Android emulator is launched, it will cause the virtual machine to freeze and crash.Is there something wrong with my settings?

 

One more thing, I used an Android 9 64-bit emulator.

 

Hey @mengl2 , need more details to understand your environment. If you can send a tech report via the Help menu and send me the ID here, would be ideal.
What's your use case? Games or development? Why do you run an Android emulator in a VM?

 

Thank you for coming to help me.

My detailed computer configuration is as follows:
Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
Graphics Card: Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Operating System: macOS 15.7.3 (24G419)

My use case involves running the Yeshen emulator (https://res06.bignox.com/full/20250...0bdf.exe?filename=nox_setup_v7.0.6.2_full.exe) within a Windows virtual machine to perform penetration testing on Android apps. The Android emulators on macOS are not user-friendly, and many tools are not compatible with this scenario. When I attempt to use the multi-instance feature of the Yeshen emulator and launch an Android 9 64-bit emulator (even if only one instance is started), the Windows virtual machine crashes with a blue screen.

Additionally, I use Parallels for some penetration testing-related tasks (some of which must be performed in Windows). These tasks are somewhat sensitive, and it is not convenient to share technical reports. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

 

This can happen when an Android emulator is used inside a Windows virtual machine. Both the VM and the emulator often try to access hardware virtualization at the same time, which can lead to conflicts and sometimes a blue screen.

Disabling Hyper-V, checking virtualization settings in BIOS, or running the emulator directly on the host system instead of inside a VM usually helps. Updating drivers and the emulator version is also worth trying.
