Can't change "Emulated Performance: Graphics" setting in android studio

I'm trying to create a virtual device in AVD, however the graphics setting is grayed out. I've been able to successfully install HAXM and have also disabled windows Hyper-V. But the option is still grayed out.

I had the same issue and the answers here didn't work. Try this:

vim ~/.android/avd/Pixel_3a_API_28.avd/config.ini

Search for hw.gpu.mode = software change it to: hw.gpu.mode = host

Now it shows correctly in AVD manager as:

You have other options too: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration?authuser=1

Another option is to edit the emulator ini file directly - under ~/.android/avd-emulator-name/config.ini U will see the options: hw.gpu.enabled=yes hw.gpu.mode=software (or hardware)

Change as needed

I don't know exactly why but sometimes images with the Google Play Store don't allow you to configure graphics. Try with another image.
