If the emulator crashes a few seconds after launching in Android Studio 2.3.1 or later: Open Android Virtual Device Manager, select your AVD, select "Edit this AVD", in a new window (Virtual Device Configuration), go to Emulated Performance > Graphics and select the "Software (GLS)" option. This problem can be caused by: 1) Outdated graphics card drivers. 2) Older graphics cards not properly supported by standard Windows 8 drivers (or later). A.
