I had the same problem after restore default settings (android studio bumblebee patch 2).
I had to uninstall my android studio, if you don't see uninstall.exe on your android studio folder, you can download older version of android studio, and paste uninstall.exe on your root folder, then just uninstall. Refer to this
And download Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) Patch 4.
In my case, the problem is solved.
