"Error:Failed to complete Gradle execution. Cause: Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)"

Question

my android studios started freezing up on me so I killed the task using task manager and when I reopened android studio I got this error:

Error:Failed to complete Gradle execution. Cause: Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

I tried cleaning and rebuilding the gradle and closing out and reopening android but it doesn't go away. The main answers on stack overflow seem to have outdated answers to click on things that are not there anymore such as Settings-->Gradle-->GradleVM options.

Answer 1
