Android studio unable to run emulator: Process finished with exit code 2

Question

I am trying to use an emulator in Android Studio 3.1.4, but I keep getting the error messages:

Emulator: Could not launch 'C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator/qemu/windows-x86_64/qemu-system-i386.exe': No such file or directory.

and

Emulator: Process finished with exit code 2.

This happens with every device I am trying to emulate.

I tried increasing the RAM on the emulator, but it had no effect. Any insight into what my problem is would be great.

Answer 1

1)Lower your AVD Memory if it set to default try running below 600 MB RAM

2) Try reinstalling the Emulator sdk

Answer 2

This can be solved by the following step:

Please ensure "Windows Hypervisor Platform" is installed. If it's not installed, install it, restart your computer and you will be good to go.
