Android Emulators not Working after Updating Android Studio

Question

I normally use Android Studio and after updating from 2.2.3 to 2.3 my emulators are no longer working. It's also difficult since Google decided to deprecated the Standalone SDK Manager:

I found that I can check/select "Show Package Details" but still I had no luck making my Google Android Emulators to work. They seem to run fine, but I can't see the emulators.

It happened to me too. Seems that there's a package called Intel HAXM no properly installed when you do this upgrade. Try this workaround:

1. Go to the Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
2. Tap on SDK Tools and uncheck "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)"
3. After uninstall HAXM, install it again
4. Restart Android Studio
5. A new update will appear called "Android Emulators". Just install it and restart Android Studio again.
