I have installed Android Studio for the millionth time but when i go to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio , i can't find any folder named "SDK" , can't find it any where on the computer either. Also, the SDK manager doesn't open, which i guess is a problem linked to the first one.

If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle: Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.
On a machine with Android Studio installed, click Tools > Android > SDK Manager. At the top of the window, note the Android SDK Location. Navigate to that directory and locate the licenses/ directory inside it.
Quick fix: Go to the Tools –> SDK manager –> SDK tools. Deselect Hide obsolete packages option on the right bottom and further install Android SDK Tools(obsolete). A new folder named Tools is now generated in the SDK directory.
Close the current project and you'll see a pop-up with a dialog which will then proceed to Configure option. Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure -> SDKs on left column -> Android SDK Home Path -> give the exact path as you did on local. properties and select Valid Target.
If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle:
Assuming the defaults were left unchanged, you will find the SDK in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android
If it is missing at this location, one of the following reasons apply: you have chosen a custom location, you missed to install the SDK at all, or (unlikely) they have changed the default install location.
Note #1: the AppData directory is hidden by default. If you have a standard Windows configuration, the C:\ path above should work "as is" (hit Win + R -> paste the path -> Enter).
Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.
If you have retrieved the standalone SDK by some other means:
The SDK location may vary (from my experience), however (assuming the default configuration) you will most likely find it in C:\Program Files\Android or C:\Users\%USERNAME%
