Genymotion Android emulator stuck on boot screen and updates not working (VirtualBox, Windows 11)

I'm trying to run an Android emulator using Genymotion on Windows 11 with VirtualBox.

The emulator starts, but it gets stuck on the “Android” boot screen for a long time and sometimes does not load properly. In some cases it opens, but system updates/apps are not working.

What I have tried:

  • Installed VirtualBox successfully

  • Disabled Hyper-V using bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

  • Tried different devices (Samsung Galaxy A14 and Galaxy S4)

  • Reinstalled Genymotion

I'm still facing:

  • Slow boot or stuck on boot screen

  • Updates not working inside emulator

System details:

  • OS: Windows 11

  • Using VirtualBox (latest version)

  • Genymotion desktop

  • Memory: 12.0GB RAM

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS

How can I fix this issue and make the emulator run properly?

Accepted Answer

Are you sure Hyper-V is completely disabled? Most of the time, using bcdedit is not enough: on Windows 11 some security features enforces Hyper-V. If that does not help, try with a lower Android image. You won't get anywhere with Android 15 or 16 on Windows, if you don't have a high-end PC with an Nvidia GPU.
