I was using the emulator perfectly fine yesterday, but today I cannot open the emulator. I have read up on the android documentation and on other issues people have run into and I cannot find a solution. I have attempted to force the emulator to run through the terminal using both -gpu host and -gpu swiftshader_indirect and I was not successful. I have updated all SDK Platforms and SDK Tools with no success. I have deleted the emulator and installed a different emulator through the AVD manager to be certain the download was current. Here are also some of the trouble shooting commands I have tried with the error messages. I am not sure what to do now. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
Here is what the Terminal shows:
emulator: WARNING: encryption is off

EDIT:
When I restarted my computer, I saw there was an update available for Android Studio, so I updated it accordingly. When I ran the main activity as I have done so previously with my preferred AVD selected the emulator failed to start. Then I attempted to run it through the terminal with both -gpu host and -gpu swiftshader_indirect commands and it still did not work.
SOLUTION TO MY ISSUE:
1. Restart computer.
2. Open Android Studio and run the emulator through the terminal using emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_29 -gpu host.
3. Now run the main activity.
It is beyond me why all of a sudden now this is the work around to run on the emulator when I have previously simply clicked run main activity with my preferred AVD and it would run without problems.
I hope this helps if anyone runs into this issue. I do not think this a complete solution, but I can live with this for the time being.

I've been trying to use the Android Emulator after downloading Android Studio. I've used an old Samsung S4 before, but need something compatible to Marshmallow for certain features.
The problems I am seeing are:
-Emulator doesn't run
-Android screen shows as if it's preparing to boot but doesn't
-When android screen disappears after hour of waiting, screen shows dialog that says the system is unresponsive, and to wait or kill the
process
-When I try to run app on AVD while that screen is showing, error from Android Studio pops up saying that the AVD didn't install APK's
correctly and to uninstall them or cancel.
The solutions I have tried:
-Lowering AVD RAM to 512 & 236 MB
-Turning emulator cameras off
-Turning off Audio
-Graphics preference set to software
-Deleting and redownloading everything
-Checking to make sure API matches SDK
-Trying different API (25)
-Downloading BlueStacks (Didn't realize it uses Kitkat)
Most of the solutions for a slow/not working emulators were related to the Emulator settings of which I changed and tried. I've been stuck on this for three days and am desperate for a solution so I can test my app which requires Android API of 23 +.
A little side note just in case I'm out-of-luck. I'm using a mid-2010 MAC running on OSX Sierra, Core 2 duo processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive.
**Update
I've ran the emulator through the command line and here is the output that I am receiving. The emaulator is still loading on the Android Screen but no more output has been logged for the last 30 minutes after "Adb connected, start proxing data".

This one worked for me
Delete all AVD's that you currently have.
Go to Preferences >> Android SDK >> SDK Tools
Uninstall Android Emulator
Restart Android Studio.
Re-install Android Emulator from the same place.
Create a new emulator !
Hope this Helps.
Do you have Docker for Mac installed by any chance? I was just facing the exact same issue and stopping Docker fixed the problem...
You could also try launching the emulator from the command line.
cd $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
tools/emulator -list-avds
tools/emulator #name_of_avd -verbose
If you see any failures you can share the output of the last command. The ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment value should point to the android SDK location. You can find this in android studio under the menu tools->sdk manager.
I got this problem when updated to MacOS Big Sur, what worked for me was to update Android Emulator in SDK Tools.
Android Studio -> Preferences -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Select Android Emulator -> OK
Here's what finally worked for me:
In Android Studio (Mac OS X) open up AVD Manager. Click the triangle pointing downwards on the offending Android Virtual Device to get a drop-down menu. Then, strike down upon Delete with great vengeance and furious anger.
With that out of the way, click + Create Virtual Device…. Leave most settings on default and then run your new virtual device like it is a tasty burger.
Hopefully this will work for you too. ^^
For me, changing the 'Graphics' from 'Automatic' to 'Software - GLES 2.0' in the Virtual Device Configuration , worked form me on my macOS Sierra
Another option if the emulator just crashes before launching the main window on mac: as varun mentioned, Docker running will be one culprit, and something else that uses vcpu’s, in my case - Virtualbox. Make sure to kill all vbox... processes.
On my old Mac (mid 2010 2,8Ghz i5) I had same problem and I want to share my solution with community for future use:
Uninstall all AVD from list.
Download last version of HAXM https://github.com/intel/haxm [update 03.03.2019]
Install it manually (it will uninstall previous version automatically by request)
Generate new AVD for x86 image.
[update 03.03.2019] For more information https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/speeding-up-the-android-emulator-on-intel-architecture
I had the same issue and was running El Capitan. I tried all of the above solutions listed but none of them worked and couldn't get the emulator to work.
So then I looked up the error log and as expected it was due to incompatible libs. Here's a snapshot of the log:

So, I upgraded to High Sierra and the issue went away.
This worked for me; I am using OS EL-Capitan, I don't want to upgrade to High Sierra, I can't use android studio emulator after upgrade because of an error like this:

After updating DisplayLink Manager to 1.1.0 with macOS Catalina (10.15.6) no emulator would start. The emulator didn't show up in a window it was just the icon on the menu bar. I checked all the previous solutions and nothing worked.
After I unplugged the docking station, the emulator started normal and I could plug the docking station again.
I've updated #Saneesh answer for Android studio 4+
