Android Studio Dolphin (2021.3.1.17) won't start, no errors, on Mac (Intel, Monterey)

I was previously running an old 4.0.0 install. Now replacing with the latest stable Android Studio Dolphin (seems to be 2021.3.1.17), on a 2015 Macbook Pro running latest Monterey, and it will not start. Nothing happens at all. Trying to run from Terminal ("open -a /Applications/Android\ Studio.app") returns no errors, no output. On first run, MacOS does its verification process, and after confirming I want to run a downloaded file, nothing.
Tried:
I've tried removing all traces in ~/Library/Preferences/..., ~/Library/Caches/..., ~/Library/Application Support/..., ~/Library/Logs/... of previous versions. And removed and installed older stable releases, all the way back to 4.2.2 when it worked. But 4.2.2 is too old for the latest codebase.
Is this hardware related... is there a system requirement that might affect this? (info on the Mac is below) I can't see anything in requirements that should case this. Does anyone know of something else I can try, or check?
This is not my screen capture, but demonstrates the same problem: https://imgur.com/a/HS9ufow
About the Macbook Pro:
It's a 2015 Macbook Pro, so Intel based, and I am definitely downloading the "Mac with Intel chip" version. It's "2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5" and 8GB of RAM. I know this isn't new hardware, but I can't see a system requirement that should be a problem.
Additional:
After first having this problem, already Monterey, just one recent update behind, I installed the latest Monterey patch. Following the OS reboot and trying Android Studio again, the splash screen actually did appear, and offered to use the old version's prefs, which I did, but the IDE never opened. Now, even after reboots, and several attempts at installing different versions, nothing.

Genymotion emulator Error starting virtual device, "player.exe" has stopped

I have installed Genymotion 3.1.0 with VirtualBox 6.0 (updated versions are not compatible with gm as said on their website) on Windows 7 64bit. I have enabled vt-x and am running the latest version of my graphics driver.
I get the error "player.exe has stopped" error when I start the device I have downloaded. (I have also tried starting the device with Virtualbox open)
Can someone please help??
I have tried the solutions posted on similar outdated questions on SO.
Genymotion 3.1.0 no longer supports Windows 7 officially, so it may not work correctly with your Windows in the future.
That being said, you can either try to purge Genymotion and re-install it (see https://support.genymotion.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002815177-How-to-uninstall-Genymotion-Desktop-completely-purge-) or try out Genymotion 3.1.1 beta at https://www.genymotion.com/download-beta/
The beta version is compatible with VirtualBox 6.1.X.

Android Studio HAXM update issues

Android Studio 2.1.3
I can't seem to update HAXM. Every time I open the AVD, it gives me the following error message:
Virtual machine acceleration driver out-of-date
It then gives me a button to "Reinstall Haxm". Clicking that leads to an installation screen where I can choose the RAM allocation, where I hit Next and it starts installing. I then see it start installing and an extracting dialog flash up and disappear immediately:
It then finishes and says it was updated successfully, but then I hit Finish and it wants me to update again.
I've ensured Hyper-V isn't enabled and that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. I've also tried installing it manually, and that looks like it all works successfully. And yet, no change in behavior by Android Studio. I have also seen this solution and tried it, with no success.
I can run the ARM EABI v7a emulators; just not the x86 ones. The ARM ones are so slow they're almost unusable, so I'd really like to find a way to fix this!
This machine does have VMWare vSphere installed on it, which is used on a regular basis. Could that be why this is happening?
First a warning. If you have a really old version of HAXM installed, follow their instructions to uninstall the old version before installing the new one.
Before installing latest HAXM, the previous versions from 1.1.4 and
below must be uninstalled using:
sudo /System/Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh
The Intel HAXM installation instructions are confusing and outdated, but this part is correct:
once you have installed the package, the status will appear as
‘Installed’, which is misleading as this is not the case. The SDK
only copies the Intel HAXM executable on your machine, and it is up to
you to install the executable.
I'm using Android Studio 3.0.1 on a Mac (10.11 El Capitan) and have not seem a "Reinstall HAXM" button like you described, but when an emulator is launched I do see this in the Event Log:
Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.0.5 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1 to fix compatibility issues on Mac.
In SDK Manager -> SDK Tools it says the Intel X86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is version 6.2.1. I have updated it via the SDK Manager from previous versions several times in the past but didn't realize the update was not complete.
Solution on Windows: Find the IntelHAXM.exe file and run it.
It might be at C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\Intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\IntelHaxm.exe
Solution on Mac: Find the .dmg file, open it, and double-click on the .mpkg file inside to start the actual installation. It will say the software is already installed. Press OK -> Continue -> Install to "re-install" it (meaning actually to install the newer version).
In my case the .dmg file was found at Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/IntelHAXM_6.2.1.dmg

Can't open a device in Genymotion

I'm having trouble when trying to open a device in Genymotion (in Ubuntu 14.04).
This is the bug that I'm getting.
I tried to uninstall Genymotion and Virtualbox a few times but nothing helped.
I has the same problem with Genymotion 2.1.0 as there is a bug in Virtual Box 4.2.
I installed genymotion 2.2.0, which solved the problem.

Ubuntu Upgrade ( Dual Boot with Windows 7)

I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 installed alongside windows 7 and would like to uninstall it so i can use 12.04. Having looked on the net it seems as if it is rather complicated to uninstall without encountering anuy issues.
Does anyone know of an Idiot Proof way of uninstalling without breaking my laptop. Im not that technical when it comes to dealing with Operating systems
Thanks

There is a section called : Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Make backup copy of data you want to save from your existing Ubuntu to the external drive. 2. Prepare new Ubuntu LiveCD.
Boot from new LiveCD and install new Ubuntu instead of old one - Ubuntu installer should have such option.
Then restore yout data from external drive. This is how I would do this.
