I’m encountering an issue where the Android Studio Emulator is running but not appearing on the screen. It was working fine previously, but now it’s consistently out of view even when I try different device types.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

  • Restarting Android Studio
  • Creating new AVDs
  • Checking for updates to Android Studio and the emulator
  • Adjusting screen resolution and scaling settings

I’ve tried everything I can think of, but the emulator still won’t show up.

    Here’s how I fixed it:

    1. Open the emulator and run any device you want.
    2. If the emulator is running but not visible on the screen, it’s likely that the emulator is running out of the screen's view.
    3. Open Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc or right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.
    4. Go to the Processes tab and find the emulator process: Look for a process like "qemu-system-x86_64" (this may vary based on your setup).
    5. Expand the process: Click the arrow on the right side of the emulator’s name, or right-click on it and select Expand.
    6. Locate the emulator instance: You should see something like "Android Emulator - ..." under the expanded process.
    7. Maximize the emulator window: Right-click on the emulator instance and choose Maximize.

    That's how I solved the issue, and hopefully, it does the trick for you too!
