Android studio takes too long to open

When I click the android studio icon on my desktop, its takes more than 5-10 minutes or even more to open android studio window.

Then the Gradle build also takes too long to refresh although I have set offline mode 'on'. and if i sync the project it takes way too long again

I have i5 processor with 6gb RAM running windows 10 and I use Genymotion as online device to debug and run my application.

Please help, it takes way too long and a lot of time is wasted

Why does Android Studio take so long to open?

There may be many plugins in Android Studio that you are not using it. Disabling it will free up some space and reduce complex processes. To do so, Open Preferences >> Plugins and Disable the plugins you are not using.

Is 8GB RAM enough for android development?

Yes, 8GB is more than enough. With 4GB you're covered! Android Studio System Requirements recommends 4 gigs for optimal experience. So yeah, 8 should be plenty!

This is happening in Android Studio 2.0 or > 2.1. As mentioned in this answer you need to uncheck the Instant Run option.

Settings/Preferences(Mac) → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and uncheck Instant Run
