Android Studio Dolphin: Unable to start emulators

I want to test out my app on newest Android 13 but after an update I cant start any emulators. I killed all zombie processes in task manager, restarted Android Studio and PC completely and still cant run it. Getting this error below:

Solution

  • Try this, from the option menu select:

    Select show on Disk

    File Explorer will open, from there delete files which have an extension of *.lock:

    delete *.lock files

    If there are no *.lock files, Open task manager and find the process qemu-system-x86_64.exe and end task.

    Then try to start the emulator again, this time it should start.
