Use ctrl+shift+A to open the search and type AVD Manager and select it. From there you can manage all your virtual devices like Launch, edit config, delete Device etc...

I had the same problem that the AVD Manager didn't show up after I installed Android Studio 3.0.1. and I could not run my Ionic app in the emulator. After hours of researching this answer finally helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47727706/9386896

  1. Start a blank project
  2. Android Studio complained that certain SDK tools are missing and offers you to install them
  3. After all tools where installed by Android Studio, I could finally create a virtual device via the AVD Manager.

I guess that may help Windows and Mac users.

You can find it in:

tool->Android->AVD Manager.

If you want to make the AVD Manager icon be visible, you can doing this:

Right click on the Toolbar and select the Customize Menu and Toolbar.., Choose the Main Toolbar.
