“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 solved by modifying my configuration on AVD.

1) Go to the AVD Manager

2) Click "Edit this AVD" Button (the pencil icon).

I had no device selected and it showed an error message that I need to select a device for the AVD to work. Once I did that and saved my emulator worked.
