While I am unsure about the entirety of the answer, HAXM is strictly for Intel processors. With Ryzen CPUs being hugely popular nowadays, that might be your issue? I know because I ran into that same problem, luckily I have an android phone which is an easy workaround. Alternatively, you can pick up a cheap android phone for like $30 on eBay if you need to.
