You should create a new emulator, before opening it for the first time follow these 3 easy steps:

1- In the AVD Manger go in the Actions overflow menu of the newly created emulator and click on "show on disk". Open "config.ini" with a text editor.

2- change "PlayStore.enabled=false" to "PlayStore.enabled=true"

3- change sysdir.1 = system-images\android-30\google_apis\x86\

to

image.sysdir.1 = system-images\android-30\google_apis_playstore\x86\
