I have run into a bit of a problem with my emulator for android studio. Everything was running fine yesterday until I was notified about updates and installed them. All but the emulator installed and now the emulator would not load. I am given the message:
Error while waiting for device: Timed out after 300seconds waiting for emulator to come online.
I went into SDK tools and tried to reinstall but I have gotten this message.
To install:

I would like to manually move the file so the emulator can finish but I don't know how exactly. This probably won't solve the issue but I would like to check it off the list of possible areas. I have also tried other methods of solving the issue but I will gladly double back to make sure that isn't a issue. Thanks in advance.
I found the issue. After uninstalling/reinstalling I had gotten the emulator to work. After some tinkering I noticed that I can update everything but the Intel x86 xham installer. In my case, doing so will give me a error message saying it cannot update while also uninstalling the version that was preinstalled which leads to the emulator not working. I did it twice to confirm.
