     4 CPUs

It seems that it has something to do with the intel graphics driver ig7icd64.dll however unable to find a fix.

So far following attempts have been unsuccessful

just uninstall Emulator SDK and reinstall it. Go to tools -> SDK manager -> SDK tools

I got the same error which was EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ.

This started to occur consistently when I updated my Emulator SDK version on Android SDK Manager. After that, I couldn't launch any emulator on any API level (always crashed).

So the solution for me was installing the older version of Emulator SDK, I believe I was downgrading from 33.1.2 to 31.3.12.

Just follow this official docs on how to downgrade your emulator version

You Just need To click on AVD Manager Wipeout user data then click on the pen to Edit Your Device and Change Graphic Setting to Software. That resolved my problem.

After a hard time with a lot of hit and trials, I was finally able to solve the problem by copying over an older version of ig7icd64.dll in c:\windows\system32 while I had the latest driver installed already . (I believe an uninstall and reinstall of graphics driver to the older version will also work).

The version working for me is

10.18.10.4276

The version that gave me all sorts of problems was the latest one :

10.18.10.4425

Also

need to use software rendering , hardware rendering still crashes as the graphics card does not support that
