Why is my emulator not working Android Studio?

If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.

Even though the Android Studio Emulator might be (partially) broken on Windows 11 right now, you can still run Android apps on Windows 11 through the built-in Windows Subsystem for Android.

Why doesn't my Android emulator work?

It turned out that the Android emulator looks for Android SDK via Global (environment) Variables, not the path defined inside Android Studio. So I edited the Environment variable of ANDROID_HOME and that was it. If your emulator worked fine but suddenly it doesn't, just restart the machine and run again.It worked for me. I faced the same problem.

How to run Android Studio projects on Android emulator?

While the emulator is running, you can run Android Studio projects and choose the emulator as the target device. You can also drag one or more APKs onto the emulator to install them, and then run them. The Android Emulator runs directly inside Android Studio by default.

It is possible that you really have no system images. Double-check that $ANDROID_HOME/system-images/android-<YOUR DESIRED API>/armeabi-v7a exists and is not empty. If they really are missing - install/reinstall with SDK manager.
