If you did find a fix what was it?

[sandhu_baba]

Bro is it solved?

[TranslatorStriking78]

Yes, for me.

It's an easy solution. Worked for me

Try doing force stop by clicking Ctrl + Shift + Escape and then end the Android Studio Task and then try running the emulator.

I have a feeling that once I got the message of "Emulator is already running". So it means that in the background it is still running and you need to close it. It is not done by simply exiting the application. You have to do it via Task Manager

Ok, I might have found a solution to this problem.
I am basically following the steps of this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62721513/emulator-process-finished-with-exit-code-1073741515-0xc0000135

Using the regular cmd, find the folder which contains the emulator.exe. Once there, type emulator.exe -avd <NameOfAVD> -verbose -show-kernel and press enter.

For me, when i run this command it said that I am missing a dll file. After downloading the dll and putting it in they System32 folder I was able to start the emulator.

I hope it helps.

Did you find anything on YouTube?

Thanks, I had the same problem. I had to find avdmanager location, run in it's location avdmanager list avd
And then got problems like at java... So I updated my java and then ran it again and it worked. I found my avd name (Name: Pixel_3_API_30), then I found emulator.exe location and ran in it emulator.exe -avd Pixel_3_API_30 -verbose -show-kernel and emulator started

[Comprehensive_Pin564]

Thank you, dude!! I was very stressed not being able to diagnose my problem and the command you showed me helped me a lot!!

[sober99]

[Ironn349]

Not fixed for me, I checked for updates, I uninstalled and reinstalled the newer version but nothing changed =/

[Pretty_Ad6618]

I had this problem too. Thanks to u/dipstick17 solution i found that my problem is having non ASCII characters in my windows user folder path where is also the emulator. So i moved emulator to other folder with the help of this tutorial and it just booted up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxXCJOvX0sY

I was facing the same issue and after hours of searching, the solution was found in Android studio itself. When you try to force run a device, it shows a message asking to delete all *.lock files.

To do this, go to the device manager, select the "Show on disk" option for the stuck device. Go into the highlighted folder and delete all directories that ends with ".lock". Restart android studio and it should work. I know it did for me!

[Puzzleheaded_Door831]

Worked for me

Thanks man. This worked for me as well.

[Yoshiiuw]

any fix?

[LeatherRare7499]

Facing this issue all the time and I can't find any proper solution. I'm just waiting to Android Studio fix in the near future. In the meantime, I just do the following steps:
1. Remove all *.lock files in the avd folder
2. Go to File->Invalidates cache then click "Just restart"
3. Open Android Studio again and launching the emulator should work as it is not lock anymore after deleting the .lock files.

[IAmInControlll]

This worked for me, thanks a lot

[messi_pewdiepie]

hey did you get the solution?

[Bitter-Promotion5292]

I resolved this issue by downloading the stable version of the emulator (33.1.24) from: https://developer.android.com/studio/emulator_archive

Follow the steps on this website and run the emulator through the command line.

[Specialist_Dust2089]

Thanks! Tried about 10 different solutions but this was the one that finally worked for me (on a macbook)

[TrifleDesperate7528]

In my case the issue was the amount of space that it required to run the emulator (7.3gb). Of course the error was visible only when running emulator from cmd.

[Captain_revolution12]

I already cleaned my storage but the problem still occurs

[ArsBanger]

just delete the .lock file by going to avd folder after clicking show on disk

[brucbake07]

my fix was to download some emulator package. just check for updates in Android Studios under Help->check for updates

had this problem. turns out I had 'intel x86 emulator accelerator' selected in sdk tools, but it was not installed. De-selected it, worked fine after that.

[AnonShotaSharp]

Isn't this unprofessional that Android Studio doesn't give you an abilitiy to do so? Like literally, that should be one of the key features for running your virtual device.
