My sincere thanks for your reading this.

I have just installed Android Studio and am attempting to run the default Hello World! script that is present when you create a new project.

Every time I try to run the the program in an Android Emulator my Emulator crashes and I get the error "Android Emulator Closed Unexpectedly" Every. Single. Time.

I have the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) installed as suggested:

I try to run a Nexus 4 emulator with 512 mb of Ram and it never works:

enter image description here

When I run this I get:

enter image description here

During this, my system physical memory peaks at 80% but never goes to 100 (which I would expect if it were crashing).

I have searched similar questions including

Android emulator crashing on Windows 7 64 Bit Android 4.0 emulator always has a crashing Launcher? Android studio emulator fails to start with memory limit related error message and they say to lower the memory size (which is what I am trying to do). Unfortunately this isn't working

Any idea how I can solve this issue?

My computer specs are as follows: 64 Bit Windows 6gb Ram Intel Core i3

I downloaded and installed all correct versions as instructed here: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html

In my case, this issue took the whole weekend to solve.

All options I tried, until:

Android Development Studio prompted me to update the Android Emulator Version to 25.3.1 (no idea what it was on before as I didn't check this before). This was a download of ~170mb.

Once I downloaded and installed the update, the emulator now seems to run OK on low memory settings - settings in keeping with the answer to this question here: Android emulator generates a very annoying error

I am now running with settings:

RAM memory to 5012

Virtual heap 32

Internal storage 200 mb

External storage 64 mb

So basically, it was a complete fluke that this worked.

To anyone that gets this error after rooting the android image, (if using snapshots). You need to start the virtual device with the -writable-system parameter like when you rooted the device, excerpt from docs.

Snapshots

...Starting a virtual device by loading a snapshot is much like waking a physical from a sleep state, as opposed to booting it from a powered-off state.

I was also having the same problem, Every time I was starting Emulator, it was closing unexpectedly. then I tried to change the Emulator Performance in settings of AVD Managers; In Software it's not working but in Hardware it was showing blank black screen. Then I realized, there might be some issue with Graphics Card(mine NVIDIA GeForce 940MX), It was showing this error enter image description here

After Updating/Restarting the problem was not resolving, then I Disabled then Enabled the Graphics Card Driver in the Device Manager and It worked!!

LONG STORY SHORT: Check, the problem might be due to your Graphics Card!

in my case, i attempted using gennymotion [ you may install it asking google genymotion . com] this could serve as alternative.

if gennymotion after installation returns this error message "the version of openGl supported by your graphics card is too old:Genymotion requires at least openGl 2.0 support. "

then know our challenge is arising from not having required graphics driver

either you checkout this link [https://buffered.com/support/solve-opengl-error/] on how to resolve it in steps.

or you download the graphics drivers using the links below

Here are the links to the 4 most prominent graphics card manufacturers in the world:

Intel: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

restart your systems after installation of the appropriate graphics driver and continue your project .
