I had the same problem and none of the answers here solved my issue, I think the reason in my case was either Ionic framework or and most probably Native Script framework. Native Script uses the Android Studio emulator to link to their mobile apps so they change the Andriod Studio emulator's path. What I did to solve the issue:

2- Uninstall Android Studio and deleting the folder Android in AppData/Local folder

3- Install Andriod Studio and make sure not to import settings
