Android Question Unable to start AVD - Error ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

[Bossolo]

Hello everyone,

Yess, i forgot, it's a Ryzen 5 3600, but i already follow this guide

Btw i solved the problem and i really feel so dumb.
i just delete the Android folder in C:\, re-extract the SDK file with winrar instead of windows explorer (the same file i downloaded few days ago) and the emulator start immediatly
I think the problem was the explorer, ther're users with the same experience in this and other forums
