Is there any possible way to speed up the Android Emulator

Question

I'm using a Windows 10 machine with Intel Core 2.20 GHz processor (x64-based processor) and 8.00 GB of RAM and I've assigned 2048 Mb of RAM to the emulator.

So, in my understanding the machine is not that bad to run the emulator quickly. But, emulator response time is too long and also utilizing 80% of CPU, 95% of Memory and 100% of Disk.

Also, tried to assign less RAM from AVD manager to the same emulator but still the same issue and sometimes only white screen is appearing on the android emulator. I have android studio 2.3.3 and already tried to enable/disable the "Instant Run" from the settings but no success at all.

So, is there any possible way to fix this issue, or at least want to know why speed/performance of an android emulator is too slow instead of some external emulator such as Genymotion.

I've spent days on internet and on stack overflow but couldn't find a similar issue/solution and didn't understand the reason of slow performance of android emulator.

You can use Nox Player App and use it like hardware device. You will be able to debug your code as well.
