Several Windows 11 users reported failure of Android Emulator in Android Studio SDK. The issue is seen in all computers having Intel and AMD CPUs, using Hyper-V as the hypervisor.
While Microsoft and Google are already working on this, there’s a temporary workaround suggested until then to test Android apps in Windows 11 . If not, users can try the Windows Subsystem for Android for performing similar operations.
Android Emulator in Windows
To let users and developers replicate an Android app in their Windows computers, Microsoft made a dedicated environment called Android Studio, with built-in virtualization support like Android Emulator. This will let users choose any hardware of their choice, to install and run Android apps in them.
As this is widely helpful for testing apps, crashing this software will impact everyone’s business. And it’s doing now! As seen in issue-tracker , the Android Studio Emulator is crashing in most Windows 11 systems . The issue is seen more common in PCs with Intel and AMD chips, using Hyper-V as the hypervisor.
I really love Windows 11 on the Surface Pro 8, but I’m having problems with the Android emulator and after hours of Google searching still haven’t found a really good solution, so I think I’ll switch back to Windows 10 for now, until it is fixed…???? #SurfacePro8 #Windows11 — Marco (@musiolmarco) October 29, 2021
