Unknown error while creating AVD in Android Studio

AVD Manager in my android studio was working fine, until an unexpected shutdown caused AVD Manager to act weird. Now I can't run any AVD's.

When I click any system-image it says unknown error under recommendation. When I click finish it says:

An error occurred while creating the AVD. See Idea.log for more details.

Here are the screenshots:

One possible reason is that adb.exe is blocked by your organisation's Group Policy.

You can check this by looking in the idea.log file. Go to Help -> Show Log in Explorer.

First, go to control panel, Remove, if exists Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package x86 or x64,

Then, go to this link, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

download Visual Studio 2015,2017,2019,2022 latest package x86 and x64 version. Install two version then, restart pc, Error is gone...

I deep dive into this issue and found the following solution. There was a problem to run mksdcard sdk tool. Some SDK tools such as mksdcard.exe require Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. So go to your System properties and check your System type:

Then based on your system type,(for me it was x64) download/update the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 from the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
