Open Settings, go to General and remove check from Reopen last project on startup

Answer 5

If the project that is being reopened is causing android studio to stop responding you may not be able to get to the dialog. I got round this by deleting

~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio3.3/options/recentProjects.xml

This allowed me to temporarily start android studio without reopening the offending project, and then permanently disable the reopening feature using the dialog others have mentioned

Answer 6

On Linux it's:

$HOME/.AndroidStudio3.6/config/options/recentProjects.xml

... where you may want to remove openPaths and lastPath nodes.

Then it show the default project-selection dialog again.
