I recently upgraded Android Studio to 2.0 (Windows) which broke the emulator.
The symptom is that the emulator starts a (single thread) process that takes about 100% of its CPU. Nothing shows on the screen.
Of course, this worked like a charm before the update.
Few things I tried:
Used an AVD created before and after the update
Increased AVD memory to 1G
Delete / Install Android Studio
Used different CPU Architecture (Arm & x86)
Used different versions of API (21 & 23)
I had the same problem I had to reinstall android studio all over again, After that open your SDK monitor press on launch stand alone SDK manager, There scroll down and check if the emulator is installed properly if not install it.
I hope this answer helped you since that's what I did and it works.
A temporary solution:
Go into the AVD Manager, select the Virtual device, and click "Edit"
Find "Emulated Performance" -> Graphics, and switch that from auto (or hardware) to Software.
It won't have quite the performance, but this worked for me. Seems to be that Android Studio 2.0 doesn't play well with certain graphics cards or something.

I upgraded to Android Studio Bumblebee 2021.1.1 and realized that I cannot fully control the emulator with the touchscreen of my notebook anymore. Press events on the touchscreen (like mouse clicks) are still recognized correctly, but when I swipe nothing happens in the emulator.
Unfortunately, I did not note down the previous version of Android Studio that I had installed before, but with previous Android Studio versions I was always able to fully control the Android emulator via the touchscreen (as if I was actually testing my app on a real mobile phone).
My Google searches did not show any results related to this issue. Does anyone have an idea what the root cause could be and if it is possible to fix it?
Disabling launch in tool window in Settings::Tools::Emulator fixed it for me (requires emulator restart to take effect).

Recently I decided to learn android dev with Kotlin, I installed JDK, the latest Android Studio release and other stuff but my CPU is AMD so I cannot install intel's HAXM which is required to launch the emulator . I want to know if an equivalent for pc with AMD exist
For your problem there are several ways to fix the issue.
Android Studio with Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors Tools(Recommended)
Here's the full document
Go to Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Check Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors also make sure if they're installed they're updated, since this solution got a problem with using NOX player at same time, and causing Blue Screen of Death
Then go to App & Features -> Turn windows features on or off -> make sure Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform are disabled. All Windows features enabling Hyper-V either explicitly or silently must be turned off.
Other solution is to use Nox or Bluestack emulator. i prefer nox since idk why but bluestack using so many resource, and also nox multi-instance is also working very well for using several emulators and it's got 3 version of android (4, 5, 7).
Common issues while using nox when trying to develop flutter app or etc is sometime emulator won't appear in your emulator list in android studio which the solution is that you should copy your adb nox file to your android sdk folder. or address the PATH VARIABLES to use nox adb.
Good Luck.
I'm a new Android Studio user, but I've already done something in the last few days.
I have only a problem with the emulator. I tried to run my code with a normal Virtual Device, but every time I always got the same error:
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Emulator: Process finished with exit code 1
I tried to find a solution in the internet, and I found that the problem was my computer (it is an AMD) and I had to download the "armeabi" version when I created a new virtual device.
It worked (I have no more errors), but my emulator is always black and I cannot see anything. I was forced to use Debug USB on my personal phone, to plug in and use it (and it works) but I'd like to solve the problem with the Android Studio emulator. My Android Studio version is 3.3.1, the latest.
Obviously when I have a preview clicking on the file "activity_main.xml" I can see the right output.
Normally I use Nexus 5 and I've tried with Marshmallow and Nougat.
Increase your VM Heap & try it again.
Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager.
Select a virtual device and click on its pencil icon (edit)
Click on Show Advanced Settings.
Under "Memory and Storage" change "VM Heap"
If above is not helpful, Please Check "Wipe user data" in the Launch Option
Go to Android Virtual Device Manager->Select your device->Start->Check "Wipe user data"->Launch
make sure that Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator is active
I just clicked the update button on Android Studio. It downloaded packages and it got stuck at the point shown in the image.
I had the very same issue on MacOS High Sierra while updating Android Wear x86 Oreo emulator image.
Since the updating window blocked me from using Android Studio, I got out of patience and hit the cancel button. The "stopping" operation of this apparently non cancellable operation continued for minutes in the background (showing at the bottom of the IDE), and then finally finished.
It seems the operation was not cancellable since there was no update to do aftewards, so if the emulator image patching operation is taking time, "cancelling" it to get use of your IDE back is the way to go as of Android Studio 3.1 Canary 9
I have similar issue just now on Windows and Mac OS, and my solution is by removing manually, related system image that required update, from Tools menu => SDK Manager => SDK Platforms. Then re-install this system image after that from the same menu.
check your internet connection if it not works then force quit it and clear cache and restart android studio then update it again
My Android studio emulator screen is off the original positioning and I have tried resizing, reloading the emulator, and Android studio to no avail.
What is wrong with the emulator Display?

here images shows before setting apply and after setting apply
Experienced the same problem as Solanki after updating from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 (and Gradle update). Configuring the AVD graphics from/to "Automatic" had no effect.
Restarting and (installing Windows 10 updates - coincidence?) solved the problem and all running normally on start up.
you can just go to settings -> system -> scale and layout then change the size of text apps and other items to 125% restart android studio and run again the emulator.
good luck !
Update android studio if it's not up to date then go to settings and then in emulator tab tick on "Launch in a tool window". It will work
See Screenshot
Not sure if this helps, but I had this same problem (together with the side panel menu being overly large) after updating from Android Studio 2.3.0 to 2.3.1. After restarting my computer it went away...
