Installing HAXM "Virtualization Technology is not turned on" error

Issue

I'm having an issue installing HAXM. It insists on giving me the "VT is not turned on error" even though I have performed all the following steps -

1. VT is enabled on BIOS
2. Avast -> settings -> troubleshooting -> "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" is on.
3. Hyper-V is disabled (I already ran "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off")
4. NX is set to AlwaysOn (I already ran "bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOn")

Any idea what do I do next? I'm still getting the same error whenever trying to install.

Solution

Following setting must be off. Not on.

Avast -> settings -> troubleshooting -> "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization"

Disable it, reboot and try again.
