I'm using the latest version of Android Studio as of this writing, which is 4.0.1. I'm running on Windows 10 pro, Intel Core i7-6600U with 16 GB of RAM.
When I try to run an emulator using either API 29 or API 30, it crashes immediately. This is the only relevant message I get: 2:26 PM Emulator: C:\Users\usrname\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'goldfish_pipe'
2:26 PM Emulator: deleteSnapshot: for default_boot
Nothing at all in the logcat.
If I run an emulator using API 28 or older, it works fine.
Update: with the help of others I tried running it from the command line. Here's what it said:
Failed to open /qemu.conf, err: 2 HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. C:\Users\mkolta\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'goldfish_pipe' deleteSnapshot: for default_boot VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request emulator: Saving state on exit with session uptime 97 ms VCPU shutdown request
Thank you in advance for your help.
