I have a fresh Android Studio installation (4.1.3) and am having a really hard time getting any emulator to run.
I started off with Android Emulator 30.5.4. This alone did not work, most of the time qemu would lock up on launch (no window, just a frozen icon in the dock). Next I installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) 7.6.5. This would result in the emulator crashing every time I tried to launch it from the manager.
I toggled graphics from Automatic to both Hardware and Software... yielding the same results.
I then tried what this post suggested: Emulator not starting after updating to Android Studio. Uninstalled HAXM 7.6.5, installed 7.6.6 manually from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases. Again hit another roadblock.
I have also tried some older build tools (31.0.0), various SDK platforms (Oreo, Nougat, Q), toggling advancedFeatures.ini (HVF, HAXM).
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Would really love to get an emulator running as I don't have a hardware device.
