"No emulator installed" error in Android Studio even though Intel HAXM is up and running

First time I have met that problem I resolved it by uninstalling and removing all traces of Android Studio and installing it again. Next time when the same problem occurred on another machine I have found easier way to solve the problem:

  1. Go to Android SDK location and remove "emulator" and "system-images" directories. The default path to SDK is "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk"

  2. In the Android Studio launch SDK manager, go to "Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK" menu, select "SDK Tools" tab and check "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)" and "Android Emulator" checkboxes and click apply. Some download and setup actions should occur at that point

  3. Go to AVD manager, delete all AVDs and create new AVD you need.

The Emulator started successfully after that.


Hi simply go to your SDK then SDK tools and click to Uncheck Android emulator to uninstall it , then download and reinstall through SDK tools Android emulator. This work for me

I hope it will helpful to you.
