Android Studio stuck on loading screen

Question

Every time I run Android Studio, this loading screen pops up, but Android Studio stays here and doesn't load. It's like this following picture except that the loading bar is loaded all the way but stuck there. I am running Windows 10.

I have tried many things, including setting the system variables JDK_HOME to where my JDK is located and the same for JAVA_HOME. I have also set a path. I ran as admin many times and let AS through a firewall.

I have also restarted and reinstalled countless times.

The version of AS is 2.0, and I am running the latest versions of Java.

Any help?

Uninstall AS, remove AS setting and Use java JDK 7 and try again. — T D Nguyen, May 27 '16 at 04:10

Open file Android Studio setup directory/bin/idea.properties
Add disable.android.first.run=true to end
Restart Android Studio

PLEASE NOTE: This will break patch updating to the next version. We now check full binary checksums on the whole installation to prevent various install corruption bugs as well as to preserve application signatures. Therefore, make a copy of this file first, and before updating, put it back.

It does not allow changes to be made – Asparique May 27 '16 at 04:38
I tried to edit it but when I tried to save it didn't allow the change to be made – Asparique May 27 '16 at 04:43
Thank you so much! I was getting very frustrated for a couple of hours and you just made my night and school in the morning :D – Asparique May 27 '16 at 04:52
You just saved my life! – Ajeet Dec 13 '16 at 07:29
thank you a LOT! But... what does this mean/change exactly? – swalkner Jun 12 '17 at 14:39
go to the installation directory of Android Studio. There you will find a folder named bin. Inside this folder there is a file named idea.properties. Open this file and add the following line to the end of the file:@swalkner – Amit Vaghela Jun 13 '17 at 04:14
@AmitVaghela yes, I got that, it helped. What I mean: what does this property mean/change exactly? Just would like to know what I'm doing. – swalkner Jun 16 '17 at 11:50
it will disable the check that Android Studio performs on first run and decides to download all that stuff@swalkner – Amit Vaghela Jun 16 '17 at 12:02
@AmitVaghela Thanks this works for me with AndroidStudioPreview3.6 – Bhavesh Desai Jan 01 '20 at 13:45

Please try the following method to fix that issue:

Find the folder of your AndroidStudio: based on the following directory

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio[version]

Delete the AndroidStudio folder.
Restart

In order to know how to debug the problem, I executed the bin\studio.bat script in the terminal and inspected the actual Idea exceptions in order to fix the problem.

For me, this was the issue:

ERROR - llij.ide.plugins.PluginManager - java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

This means the plugin manager is trying to listen on a port that is not available. Is something listening on that port? For me, it was the stupid "excluded ports" by Windows, so I simply stopped the service: net stop winnat (as administrator), and confirmed that Android Studio started to work.

No need to re-install, delete precious configuration (and plugins, etc.). Just read the log provided by the bin\studio.bat script, and I was able to fix the issue.
