1.Check whether multiple instance of java.exe running then find out why they are running in my case i have opened command prompt it need java instance. open task manager and end task of cmd.exe If you don't want it to further happen remove path from environment variables and use embedded android studio JDK.

2.Delete lock file in /.gradle/cache goto task manager and close all instance of java.exe In android studio click on file invalidate caches/restart
