Intel's HAXM is a lightweight hypervisor (supervisor in charge of VM supervisors) that is so lightweight because it is primarily a thin wrapper around hardware support (which should seem unsurprising given Intel's direct involvement), bypassing the Operating System (for the most part).
Microsoft's Hyper-V is the hypervisor platform built into modern versions of Windows and which shares/follows (for the most part) Microsoft's overall Platform APIs and Driver APIs, making for a better communication channel between Hyper-V and the usual Windows supervisors/kernels when hosting Windows virtual machines. (Similar to the integration services offered by other hypervisors like VirtualBox, with the "magic" that such services are easier because the OS and the hypervisor share very similar "languages" already.)
Microsoft's Hyper-V is also the base component for other systems such as the Windows Container Platform, some of Windows 10's more optional enterprise sandboxing systems, etc.
Do you have a link to show how to do that? Sounds useful, but the only reference I've found to that is to do it from Visual Studio and using Xamarin C# and not 'native' Java.
Once you enable the container platform in windows, and enable the bios setting for virtualization, it should just work, when I get back to my home computer I will look the details
Alright, so I just made a run of it and verified it all works.
As you say, the tutorial from Microsoft is for VS[0], but it actually talks about the android emulator, which is the same thing that Android Studio uses, just make sure you update it to latest, atm it's 27.3.10
Admittedly, the startup time seems a bit longer than with HAXM, but otherwise the emulation is pretty responsive.
