Android Studio – Why "Failed to load JVM DLL"?

I updated android studio from Dolphin to Electric Eel and now it won’t start, giving the following error message:

Failed to load JVM DLL C:Program FilesAndroidAndroid Studiojbr\binserverjvm.dll
If you already have a JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.

I already have JAVA_HOME set but tried different paths, different java versions, uninstalling, installing, etc.
Tried deleting all the caches I could find (probably missing something).
Tried uninstalling android studio multiple times, or going back to the older version and updating again.
While on the older version – tried to change the JDK that the studio was using and then update.
Nothing of the above works.

    Edit:
    There's a workaround mentioned here. It worked for me.
    It says to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
    Installing it provides a "missing vcruntime140_1.dll file in bundled Java Runtime" to the Android Studio.

    Old answer:
    I "solved" it by deleting the jvm.dll file in C:Program FilesAndroidAndroid Studiojbrbinserver. Then it started actually looking up the JAVA_HOME variable and the studio launched.

    After some Windows updates, I faced the same problem. Download a fresh copy of JetBrainsRuntime and replace the C:Program FilesAndroidAndroid Studiojbr folder with this new one.
