Answer 1

I experienced the same issue when updating Android Studio to version 3.4.

What worked for me was editing the AVD configuration and on Graphics I selected "Software -GLES 1.0". This made my emulator successfully boot up again.

Then I just went back to the Graphics configuration and selected "Hardware - GLES 2.0" again, which made my emulator go back to its usual performance.

Hope that helps!
