Xamarin app not deploying to VS Simulator for Android

Question

I installed Xamarin tool on VS, the right Android SDK, and the Android Emulator for Android from Microsoft.

When I run the application from Visual Studio, the last step I get to is

1>Emulator launched successfully.

And the Xamarin Diagnostics give me

[I:]:                     Found Xamarin.Android 8.0.2.1

[D:]:                     Tracking avd started
[D:]:                     avd watcher *.ini path: 'C:\Users\Dmitri\.android\avd'
[D:]:                     avd watcher: got device list from avd with 0 devices

And that's it. Nothing happens. The emulator is showing the lock screen.

How do I get this process moving? I want to run the app!
