This error came up after I installed windows 11 and apparently it's not compatible yet.

I noticed the author of this question is using windows 7, but hopefully it would help those who are using windows 11.

This problem would most likely cease to exist after windows made an update, but for the meantime, here is the tutorial on how to fix it.

  1. Basically you need to find out what version of windows support android studio, I found that out by clicking run. See the image here
  2. Windows would then scan all the programs you have installed on your computer.
  3. Click on android studio See the image here
  4. Click Try recommended settings
  5. Windows would then pick the version that is compatible, in my case, it was windows 8. See the image here
  6. You have to pick the option to test the program first or just click Next
  7. After that, just follow what windows is telling you to do and everything would work just fine

I had this problem occur after using the same emulator for a while with no issues. What solved it for me was in AVD Manager > Actions select:

1) Wipe data

2) Cold boot.

It was solved when I wiped the emulator data.

Go to AVD Manager, click on the arrow next to your device and select wipe data:

My emulator was working perfectly, then suddenly it started giving the same problem. So, I tried some methods, and one of them worked. I am mentioning from less to more (timewise) solutions. They are:

  1. In AVD Edit -> change the Emulated Performance to Software GLES 2.0. (This dint work for me, but for some it can work).

  2. Go to Control Panel -> H/W and Sounds -> Device Manager -> Display adapter -> Your Display Driver -> Right click and update it. (This worked for me and got the emulator running nicely).

  3. In AVD Manager -> In your AVD change resolution to 800x600 and reduce RAM size to 512 MB or less. (Would have tried this solution next). emulator-x86.exe has stopped working

  4. Try creating a new AVD which consumes less memory and resolution.

This Worked for me.

./emulator -avd <your AVD Name> -gpu off

Refer to see the type of error I got and that highlighted command resolved the problem image

It occurs because your pc's hardware does not support it. Change the Graphics in AVD Manager to Software GLES2.0, but it will still take forever to start the Emulator. You can always opt for 3rd party emulators such as Genymotion.

I had this problem when I selected too much RAM in the Advanced Options when setting up the emulator. Selecting the default amount of RAM fixed the issue for me.

I am on Windows 7 X64, 4gb of RAM with dual core. Studio 2.3.3 I'll avoid studio emulator, Rather go with CMD.

You will get the ERROR why qemu-system-i386.exe has stopped working

My ERROR:

emulator: ERROR: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, use '-gpu off' to disable it.

then USE command:

emulator.exe @YourAVDName -gpu off

I had the same issue solved it by changing the Emulated Performance to Software GLES-2.0,I saw previous post and tried using Host GPU but since that option is not available in my Android Studio(2.2.3). I tried this and it worked

Win7, makes me wonder if you have a compatible processor. The first requirement for qemu-system is Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality.

I get this message when the "Memory and Storage RAM: is set to low. The message went way when I upped it to 6gigs. I still get the "Processing System has stopped" message, but this doesn't stop the emulator from loading. I also get the Google Play has stopped, but this too goes away after a bit and my app loads. It takes around 20 minutes for the emulator to finish and load my app.

I suggest you start with the smallest Device with the lowest screen resolution, like the NEXUS S 480x800. I tried several solutions from this site, none made a difference till I tried the opposite of one solution, that was to up the memory for the emulator.

Hope this helps.
