Android Studio – How to terminate Android Emulator running in the background?

I am using Android Studio to learn my flutter project. For the first run with emulator Pixel 5 API 30, it work well.

But If I close Android Studio IDE without terminate the running app and then re-open Android Studio to run the project again with that emulator, it start running on the background and I have no way to get it back on screen. When I open the project, I see the emulator in Device Manager blue (meaning it is still running even I close the IDE).

2-Options:

1- I may want to stop the running emulator and re run again. I have try adb kill-server and adb start-server. There is nothing work.
Also, I cannot .lock folder and file in .androidavdPixel_5_API_30.avd. It said the action can’t be completed because the file is open in qemu-system-x86-64.exe

2- Bring back the background emulator back to display on screen. I cannot find any solution yet.

The only solution is to restart my PC.

Anyone know, please share. I search a lot around here.

    Another good way to make sure Emulator not work on the background is to separate it into different window. So we do not confuse when we have multiple IDE opening.

    Simple go to File > Settings > Emulator > Uncheck Launch in a tool window

    enter image description here

    You may try killing the qemu-system-x86-64.exe in the task manager,it should force stop the emulator.
    qemu-system-x86-64.exe
