The emulators stopped running. Configuration: Windows 10, Intel, HAXM Installed, Virtualization ON, GPU software, emulators reinstalled. Immediately after turning on, this error falls (The emulator process for AVD was killed), the emulator does not even appear
None of the solutions worked for me. Here are the generic steps to help you find the problem:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulatoremulator -list-avds and see names of emulators, in my case it is Pixel_2_API_30emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_30
Warning: Of course, in your case, you may have another error - but you can easily find a solution on the Internet knowing the reason
To debug the exact cause of this issue, On the tabs section of android studio,
click 'Help',
then 'Show log in explorer'.
After opening the file, if you see any message like
'Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed ',
Then follow these four steps
1.Download the vulkan.dll file from the internet(Google search for these and you would see sources to download from) or get from any other source.
2.Extract the dll file
4.Then rename the file to 'vulkan-1.dll'
Then run your emulator and see it come up
I have same problem as you. Now I resolved it by these steps.
Same issue here, resolved it by uninstalling all the unused SDKs to free some disk space
=> uncheck them in SDK Manager then Apply, and Finish when the uninstallation process is done, finally restart your Android Studio, it should be ok

For me, it happened to be that my machine was out of disk space. However, I was able to verify this by running the emulator from the command line in order to get a more detailed error message:
$ emulator -list-avds
Pixel_3_API_29
Pixel_3_API_30
Pixel_5_API_30_R_
$ emulator -avd Pixel_3_API_29
emulator: Android emulator version 30.4.1.0 (build_id 7075546) (CL:N/A)
emulator: ERROR: Not enough disk space to run AVD 'Pixel_3_API_29'. Exiting...
Freeing disk space worked. Note, a great way to free up lots of space is to open Android Virtual Device Manager and select wipe data. For me, this cleared 8 GB just with one emulator that I hadn't used in a long while and was fine to reset.
If updating doesn't work for you try opening the emulator with command line for ubuntu
locate emulator location in Terminal (cd Home/Android/Sdk/emulator).
run this command emulator -avd EMULATOR_NAME
this will open the emulator or will tell the actual error that you can fix. in my case the problem was my system has low space left than the required for emulator (6GB < 8GB)
There are many reasons why the emulator process can quit. This dialog unfortunately provides this misleading message with no further details.
If you have Android SDK Command-line Tools installed, run emulator from the command line to see what's happening.
emulator -list-avds # get available AVD names
emulator @<avd-name> # try to start emulator
Error messages will follow. In my case it was insufficient disk space.
If you just created the emulator and it has never been run before, you need to run it as a stand-alone window for the first time, then you can run it in a tool window (in the Android studio window). To run the emulator as standalone app:
emulator -avd {your virtual device name here} more infoIf the emulator was already working and you get into this error, then the emulator executable crashed, but the process is still running.
Find these processes with your process explorer and kill them. They should look similar like
Afterwards go to your AVD directory where your device is located and delete multiinstance.lock file. Restart Android Studio, and launch the device in the AVD manager.
If you are using a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, there is a reported bug with Intel HAXM. The only way that I manage to run the emulator is on the command-line by turning off hardware acceleration and the AVD was very slow. Here is how:
To get the list of installed AVDs (assuming your default emulator path is as follows)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -list-avds
Start an AVD (Nexus_5X_API_25 of example) with hardware acceleration off
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -accel off
You can add the -verbose -show-kernel options to get detailed info.
None of the above answers worked for me. This did:
I followed the steps mentioned in this comment, but it didn't show any errors. It also said to "Update emulator because it's outdated", although my emulator was already up-to-date. I restarted Studio & ran the AVD from AVD manager and it worked.
It's hard to come to read on my solution which is after 25 Answers. Still I suggest this solution which helped me as non others helped:
