Any other solution?

Thanks for your feedback. Currently, HAXM only supports macOS up to 10.14. Since macOS Catalina 10.15, macOS does not support kernel extension any more. It only support new system extensions instead. You may consider to use HVF on macOS instead. Thanks.

I am running an iMac from 2010 with 10.13.6 and I get the exact same issue as OP.

I already had HAXM installed on this system (but my emulator was not working well). So I gave it another try, removed HAXM via Android Studio Settings, restarted Android Studio and got this error when trying to install HAXM again.

EDIT: Just as a sidenote, I was able to install HAXM 7.7 via brew install --cask intel-haxm. The emulator starts in AS, but closes immediately. This is the same behaviour I had before, when HAXM 7.6.5 was shown as installed in AS.
