Bossolo · Oct 1, 2020

Hello everyone,

Don't spend too much time on the Android emulator. It is unstable and problematic. Use a real device instead.

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

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
