Answer 1

My laptop runs on AMD Ryzen 5 and I was facing a similar issue. I tried some of the fixes here but didn't work but eventually, I read hundreds of blogs and came up with a solution. You need the following setup requirements to be in place:

AMD Processor - Recommended: AMD® Ryzen™ processors Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher(I run on BETA, However the latest version of Android Studio doesn't need you to install ARM images anymore) Android Emulator v27.3.8+ x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD) Windows 10 with April 2018 Update Enable via Windows Features: "Windows Hypervisor Platform"

With all these features in place, I was running Android studio again. Hope it helped!
