Not sure if this is anyone's expertise here... but worth a try...

Encountering the below error, ran here from cmd to get the full error output. Note, Hyper-V is functioning already on this system. I've tried disabling/enabling the functions in Windows, and a dozen other "solutions" I found elsewhere online. Also note that my i7-960 from what I read does have EPT (and I understand UG is included with any CPI that has EPT). I find the -prop 'qemu.*' error curious. Seems to suggest that Visual Studio is incorrectly calling it. When I remove the -prop option, it still errors as below without the -prop mention.


C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\emulator>emulator -no-boot-anim -avd pixel_2_pie_9_0_-_api_28 -prop monodroid.avdname=pixel_2_pie_9_0_-_api_28
WARNING: unexpected '-prop' value ('monodroid.avdname=pixel_2_pie_9_0_-_api_28'), only 'qemu.*' properties are supported
Warning: Quick Boot / Snapshots not supported on this machine. A CPU with EPT + UG features is currently needed. We will address this in a future release.
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
CPU acceleration status: Hyper-V detected and Windows Hypervisor Platform is available. Please ensure both the "Hyper-V" and "Windows Hypervisor Platform" features enabled in "Turn Windows features on or off".
