Answer 1

I had the same problem even on the latest version of Android studio (Arctic Fox). I even tried to reinstall my Windows but it didn't work. Finally, I figured out my problem is related to the Windows date & time format. I changed it back to "English (United States)" from "Control Panel\Clock and Region\Change date, time, or number formats" and my problem was solved!

Answer 2

Delete everything first, everything in the user is in the Google file, there are files for Android, delete them, the old Sdk and the program

C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Google

C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Google

Now go to the Android page to download the Android, but the older version is from the archive

See the Android Studio release notes. More downloads are available in the download archives.

And click on download from the archive or go to the direct link https://developer.android.com/studio/archive Then look for the version Android Studio 3.6.3 April 17, 2020

Then click on it and download the appropriate version for your system

Now after the normal install Download all the appropriate emulators and operating systems for you and all the tools you need And in the end, go to updates and then to check update To download the

latest version of Android 4.2.1

The problem returns, but you will now have the required emulators, SDK tools and everything you need.
