How to Install Genymotion Desktop on Windows?

1️⃣ Prerequisites

• Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit (Windows 7 is no longer supported).
• A compatible graphics card; systems with Intel integrated GPU may encounter issues.
• A hypervisor:
• VirtualBox (recommended, included in the full installer).
• QEMU (requires Hyper-V, so Windows Pro/Enterprise or the Home version with Hyper-V enabled).

2️⃣ Download

• Go to the Genymotion Desktop page and click on Download.
• Choose the package Genymotion-Desktop-Windows-<version>.exe.

3️⃣ Installation

1. Run the installer:

• The full installer includes VirtualBox, so you don't need to install it separately.
• If you prefer to use only Genymotion, install VirtualBox from the official VirtualBox website first.

2. Follow the assistant:

• Accept the terms, choose the installation directory (default: C:\Program Files\Genymotion).
• The application creates an automatic user account (or allows you to log in to an existing account).

3. Enable Hyper-V (if you use QEMU on Windows Home):

• Open Turn Windows features on or off → check Hyper-V (Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform).
• Restart your PC.

4️⃣ Launch

• Open Genymotion Desktop from the Start menu or the desktop icon.
• Log in with your Genymotion account.
• The software will automatically download the required Android images for your virtual devices (an internet connection is required the first time).

5️⃣ Create a virtual device

• Click on Add Device → choose a model or create a Custom Virtual Device (e.g., Android 13, screen size, resolution...).
• Launch the device by double-clicking on it; it will start in a separate window.

🔧 Troubleshooting tip If you see the error "Unable to start the Virtual Device", restart your computer. If the issue persists, consult the official support article "How to fix “Unable to start a Virtual Device” error".

🎉 You are now ready to develop, test, or demonstrate your Android applications in a complete virtual environment!
