Answer 1

I was trying to create an emulator for Android 10 (the one for Android 9.0 worked fine) but I also got the error:

Resetting for cold boot: emulation engine failed

After some digging on the World Wide Web I found that I did not have the Android SDK 10.0 (Q) installed.

Steps (from Android Studio):

Step 1: Open SDK Manager (Tools -> SDK Manager)

Step 2: Choose your missing Android SDK and click Apply

Step 3: Wipe the data from existing virtual device (Tools -> AVD Manager -> Right-click on virtual device -> Wipe Data)

After the installation I right-clicked on my already existing virtual device and choose Wipe Data. I'm not sure it this is necessary though. Note that the same error - Resetting for cold boot: emulation engine failed - appeared but then it booted up correctly.
