The emulators stopped running.
Configuration:
Windows 10, Intel, HAXM Installed, Virtualization ON, GPU software, emulators reinstalled. Immediately after turning on, this error falls (The emulator process for AVD was killed), the emulator does not even appear
One of the solution is:
Select "Tools" -> "SDK Manager" -> "SDK Tools" tab -> and update to latest Android Emulator version.
None of the solutions worked for me.
Here are the generic steps to help you find the problem (windows and macos):
WINDOWS
Try to find emulator folder in sdk folder, in my case it is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
Open terminal in this folder and call emulator -list-avds and see names of emulators, in my case it is Pixel_2_API_30
Next step try to call this emulator with command emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_30
Your emulator will start or show an error. In my case I sow this
I needed to install the missing dll. I go to link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 and install Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 and now all ok!!!

Warning: Of course, in your case, you may have another error - but you can easily find a solution on the Internet knowing the reason
Make sure your machine has enough storage space, sometimes AVD requires up to 10GB or more to start.
To debug the exact cause of this issue, On the tabs section of android studio,
click 'Help',
then 'Show log in explorer'.
After opening the file, if you see any message like
'Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed
Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed ',
Then follow these four steps
1.Download the vulkan.dll file from the internet(Google search for these and you would see sources to download from) or get from any other source.
2.Extract the dll file
Place it in c\Users[your username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\lib64.
4.Then rename the file to 'vulkan-1.dll'
Then run your emulator and see it come up
I have same problem as you. Now I resolved it by these steps.
Open SDK Manager, select "SDK Tools" Tab
Uncheck box "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)" then "OK"
Open AVD Manager, try to start emulator and then let it to install HAXM
Finally, Emulator can be started. I think so HAXM Version is update (old is 7.5.1 and new is 7.5.6).
Uncheck "Launch in a tool window" from File-> Settings -> emulator
Should work.
I want to make a contribution to this thread, I have tried many of the possible solutions that I have found on the net, including the one that is now marked as Solution and I have not managed to solve the problem until I have modified the SDK path to match the ones System variables
I had same issue.
I changed ANDROID_HOME path on environment variables.
And then I copied 'avd' folder, which emulator installed in into 'sdk' folder(ANDROID_HOME path).
*** You can find 'avd' folder by clicking 'Show on Disk' in AVD manger.
I restarted the emulator and then it is running well now.
Just make sure you have enough disk space on your machine, I freed up space and didn't have to do any of the steps mentioned above.
Same issue here, resolved it by uninstalling all the unused SDKs to free some disk space
=> uncheck them in SDK Manager then Apply, and Finish when the uninstallation process is done, finally restart your Android Studio, it should be ok

For me, it happened to be that my machine was out of disk space. However, I was able to verify this by running the emulator from the command line in order to get a more detailed error message:
$ emulator -list-avds
Pixel_3_API_29
Pixel_3_API_30
Pixel_5_API_30_R_
$ emulator -avd Pixel_3_API_29
emulator: Android emulator version 30.4.1.0 (build_id 7075546) (CL:N/A)
emulator: ERROR: Not enough disk space to run AVD 'Pixel_3_API_29'. Exiting...
Freeing disk space worked. Note, a great way to free up lots of space is to open Android Virtual Device Manager and select wipe data. For me, this cleared 8 GB just with one emulator that I hadn't used in a long while and was fine to reset.
There are many reasons why the emulator process can quit. This dialog unfortunately provides this misleading message with no further details.
If you have Android SDK Command-line Tools installed, run emulator from the command line to see what's happening.
emulator -list-avds # get available AVD names
emulator #<avd-name> # try to start emulator
Error messages will follow. In my case it was insufficient disk space.
If updating doesn't work for you try opening the emulator with command line for ubuntu
locate emulator location in Terminal (cd Home/Android/Sdk/emulator).
run this command emulator -avd EMULATOR_NAME
This will open the emulator or will tell the actual error that you can fix. in my case the problem was my system has low space left than the required for emulator (6GB < 8GB)
Same issue occurred with me multiple time. Try following points hope it help you.
File-> invalidate Cache/ Restart.
File-> Settings -> Tools -> Emulator -> Now uncheck(Launch in a tool window)
AVD Manager -> more option -> show on disk -> Now delete(hardware-qemu.ini.lock) and run again.
I know this is for windows but I share my solution in case anyone with Ubuntu is here.
What happened:
In my case that happened when I changed my machine completely but keep my storage device. In my old storage device I had Ubuntu 20.04, android studio 4.1.2 and I was trying to run a pixel 4 android Q emulator. Both old device and new device were Intel x86.
When I tried to open my emulator for the first time I faced this error.
Solution:
I deleted the android image from tools > SDK Manager > SDK platforms, by unchecking the android image, and then install it again. Obviously it downloads it again. Then I deleted my old AVD and create a new one and every thing start working.
You have to check that Android Emulator is properly installed or not. If there an update available for emulator then it should be updated.
I had the same problem, then I tried multiple things to fix that but no luck, then I chose a different system image and now it works.
currently, I have (PIE android 9.0)
If you just created the emulator and it has never been run before, you need to run it as a stand-alone window for the first time, then you can run it in a tool window (in the Android studio window).
To run the emulator as standalone app:
In the android studio settings go to tools>Emulator and make sure that "Launch in a tool window" is disabled before running the project.
Or close the project and start the emulator
Or run this command line emulator -avd {your virtual device name here} more info
I had this error too. The issue was my 'avd' folder creating the image and 'avd' folder when trying to launch the android emulator were pointing to two different places.
The solution:
step 1: create an environment variable to redirect both paths back to the same place
step 2: restart Android studio
If nothing else works, what solved it for me was:
Tools > SDK Manager > Reinstall Android emulator and HAXM
If the emulator was already working and you get into this error, then the emulator executable crashed, but the process is still running.
Find these processes with your process explorer and kill them. They should look similar like
emulator.exe
qemu-system-x86_64.exe
Afterwards go to your AVD directory where your device is located and delete multiinstance.lock file. Restart Android Studio, and launch the device in the AVD manager.
If you are using a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, there is a reported bug with Intel HAXM.
The only way that I manage to run the emulator is on the command-line by turning off hardware acceleration and the AVD was very slow.
Here is how:
To get the list of installed AVDs (assuming your default emulator path is as follows)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -list-avds
Start an AVD (Nexus_5X_API_25 of example) with hardware acceleration off
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -accel off
You can add the -verbose -show-kernel options to get detailed info.
None of the above answers worked for me. This did:
I followed the steps mentioned in this comment, but it didn't show any errors. It also said to "Update emulator because it's outdated", although my emulator was already up-to-date. I restarted Studio & ran the AVD from AVD manager and it worked.
I faced the same issue on my fresh installed Linux Mint with Nvidia GPU. The problem was solved after the GPU driver installed.
Go to "Driver Manager" to see if there is driver available.
It's hard to come to read on my solution which is after 25 Answers.
Still I suggest this solution which helped me as non others helped:
Use command in cmd: cd C:<SDK-Path>\Android\Sdk\emulator>emulator -list-avds
List all emulator using:
emulator -list-avds
Run emulator using: emulator #Your-Emulator-Name
This will show you error on why emulator is not able to launch.
For me it was:
handleCpuAcceleration: feature check for hvf
cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed
Downlaod vulkan-1.dll file by googling
Place this file in c:\Windows\System32
Launch Emulator again
Viola!!! :)
On Windows 10, Intel, Android Studio 2020.3.1 Patch 4 in
Tools > AVD Manager > Create virtual device
Phone > Pixel XL > Next
On System Image > x86 Images tab > API 32 > Next

Basically I choose from x86_64 Images.
Mine was caused by lack of space on my primary Hard Drive on my PC. Once I had at least 4 GB the error cleared.

Android Studio 4.0, Emulator 30.0.12, Win 10
Everything has been ok, but today my AVD emulator stopped start and started to show error like this:
The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_29 was killed.
if I start it from the AVD Manager or if I started Debug my project then:
Emulator: Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)
I tried:
remove and install Android Studio ;
reinstalled all plugins, gradle, sdk, emulator;
But it all doesn't effect to it.
May be anyone knows how fix this bug?
Thx!
I've also faced the same situation many times and didn't get the exact error of why this happening from Android Studio.
To understand of what causes this issue, try running the emulator from command line (cmd on Windows) which will also show the whole errors and issues you have:
$ANDROID_SDK/emulator/emulator -avd <NameOfAVD> -verbose -show-kernel
P.S: To get the list of avd devices, go to "sdk_path\emulator" then run:
emulator -list-avds
So I ran ionic emulate android and this is what I'm seeing on my console

The Samsung avd I created showed up but it's just blank screen
What am I doing wrong? The project that I used is https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-starter-sidemenu
Any ideas?
Just restart the virtual device solved my problem! I use Android Studio.
I had the same problem when I run following command:
ionic cordova emulate android
It prints a lot of dots like this:
Those infinite dots happen when your virtual device doesn't load correctly.
Just restart it and the problem is solved.
I installed android studio and tried to run easy projects.
But I caught strange error message:

How to solve this error?
First make sure you are running Android Studio version above 0.3.2 because there was some issue reported regarding the same in AS 0.3.2 . If it is not you can update it from Help >Check for update.
If you are already running AS above 0.3.2 :
Seems like issue is with your emulator not with Android Studio. It may happen that you are trying to install application before even the emulator started properly.
Wait till the home screen appears in the emulator before trying to install any application.
Also try to install any apk in Emulator from command line
Steps to install
Go to $Android_SDK_DIR\platform-tools, right click there keeping
shift key pressed and Chose "Open Command Window here".
Run command adb devices to make sure yout emulator is running
properly. It will show all your running emulators.
Now if emulators are showing properly, type the command adb install
YOUR_FULL_APK_PATH , YOUR_FULL_APK_PATH is of any .apk file path in
your system.
Please update if this works fine.
The most common cause of this error is simple: You have to manually unlock your Android Virtual Device by swiping the “lock” icon on the screen. Security measures prevent the emulator from letting you connect the debugger before doing this.
The problem is resolved:
In Android Studio
Start run/debug
if you see the message
Do not closed the AVD, just click on run/debug again, the Application will be running when you unlock the application.
The same problem but different solution, I modified my Virtual Device, I changed Memory option and Internal Storage, and it works fine.
RAM:512 , VM HEap: 192, Internal Storage=200, SD Card Size: 200 for Device Nexus 4 android 4.2.2.
In my case this error was caused by SELinux. I got to set SELinux to permissive.
adb shell su 0 setenforce 0
I had this issue, but I found that simply killing the emulator and restarting it worked. There seems to be some sort of race condition where the emulator has not initialized before Android Studio tries to launch the apk and so you get the package error.
I had this too, and using this config worked for me :
Device: Nexus One
Target: Android 4.2.2 -api level 17
CPU/ABI: ARM (armeabi-v7a)
Keyboard: Hardware keyboard present
Memory Options:
RAM: 512
VM Heap: 192
Iternal Storage: 200
SD Card:
Size:200
This Is Worked for me
1)Close Solution.
2)Close Emulator.
3)Run Emulator and Wait till it launch completely and shows Home Screen.
4)After that only Open Solution And Clean,Rebuild and Try to deploy Application.
The same happened to me right now. I don't know if there is another but for me the following worked:
Opened AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager
Started virtual device
Hit the Run button again (that one at status bar)
Explanation: The problem happened because of timeout. Once device had started, the Android Studio could comunicate with him. (v 0.5.3)
Remove this emulator (in the AVD)
Install this emulator (in the AVD) :)
