AVD Manager in my android studio was working fine, until an unexpected shutdown caused AVD Manager to act weird. Now I can't run any AVD's.

When I click any system-image it says unknown error under recommendation. When I click finish it says:

An error occurred while creating the AVD. See Idea.log for more details.

Here are the screenshots:

I deep dive into this issue and found the following solution. There was a problem to run mksdcard sdk tool. Some SDK tools such as mksdcard.exe require Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. So go to your System properties and check your System type:

enter image description here

Then based on your system type,(for me it was x64) download/update the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 from the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

enter image description here

After installing Microsoft Visual C++, the problem was fixed. Also the Unknown error problem was fixed and I was able to create the avd successfully.

I was able to solve this using this solution.

[Delete] *.ini files from a directory home//.android/avd It's for Ubuntu. In Windows it's also in the user's folder (.android/avd).

Maybe clearing the avd image might do , also try other solutions

First, go to control panel, Remove, if exists Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package x86 or x64,

Then, go to this link, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

download Visual Studio 2015,2017,2019,2022 latest package x86 and x64 version. Install two version then, restart pc, Error is gone...

One possible reason is that adb.exe is blocked by your organisation's Group Policy.

You can check this by looking in the idea.log file. Go to Help -> Show Log in Explorer.
