“waiting for target device to come online” in Android Studio 2.3

Question

Recently upgraded to Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2., running on Win10

Emulator stopped working since then. Tried installing other images(25 rev 4)/upgrading for AVD

Answer 1

I have the same issue with the new update about Quick boot.

Unfortunately I had to disable it to make the emulator working again.

Android Studio -> tools -> Android -> AVD Manager -> edit your emulator -> Show Advanced Settings -> select Cold boot
