While working with emulators in Android Studio, I prefer to have them always cold-boot because:
1) I like it when the emulator window closes immediately after clicking "X-close" rather than beginning a new "saving state" procedure.
2) I find that many-a-bugaboo occurs when returning to a "saved state" with these emulators (connection timeout on bootup, weird graphics behavior, loss of logcat connection, garbled data retrieved from shared prefs)
So... what I have always done is to go into AVD manager and change the settings like this:
However, when I attempt this with an emulator running API 27 or higher:
...there appears to be no cold boot option:
I have googled to try to find how to configure cold boot on these newer API emulators but can't find anything.
Is it possible to cold boot emulators running API 27+ on Android Studio?

The first time you start an Android Virtual Device (AVD) with the Android Emulator, it must perform a cold boot (just like powering on a device), but subsequent starts are fast and the system is restored to the state at which you closed the emulator last (similar to waking a device).
Change config in:
%path_to_home%/.android/avd/%your_avd_image%/config.ini
Instead of
fastboot.forceColdBoot=no
you should set
fastboot.forceColdBoot=yes
