ERROR Android emulator gets killed

Question

After updating to Android Studio 2 when I try to run my application and choose an emulator, I wait for the emulator to start and it suddenly gets killed. I can see emulator

Answer 1

In android studio version 4.0 (WINDOWS), I could find the solution by just checking android studio welcome screen and clicking on the "Events" dropdown AFTER trying to launch the emulator (hence after getting the error):

the events section clearly shows that ANDROID_SDK_ROOT was not set in my system.

In a nutshell, whenever you see such error when starting the emulator, just check the "events" section in the welcome to android studio screen to find the real problem.

Beware that if ANDROID_HOME is not set properly, it will still tell you that ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is broken.

Answer 2

goto tools>android>sdkmanager and update emulator and install related API level.It worked for me

If your HAMX is installed and turning to Software didn't help try to check if virtualization is enabled in BIOS. You need to go to BIOS and enable it
