You should uninstall the HAXM and reinstall it, make sure to allocate at least 2 GB of ram to it. and when you create your emulated device give it less then you gave to the HAXM i'd say 1 GB that should speed things up . but i wold suggest you more RAM 8 GB is low. My system is using 10 GB with Google Chrome, Android Studio and emulator open. When going to a new version you should also go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart

  • Thanks for your response Mihai. I tried this out but i wasn't presented with a field to allocate the 2GB of RAM in Intel HAXM installer. Am still facing the same issue. – tobbyioa Nov 09 '17 at 10:14

    Just go to **Tools > Android > SDK Manager** then go to **SDK Tools** panel and uncheck **Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)** and click apply, this will uninstall it. To install it again once the uninstall process finishes just check the box and click apply it should prompt you to select the memory just read the prompts before clicking next it will be the second prompt if i recall correctly . – Mihai Nov 09 '17 at 16:42
  • One more thing while in the **SDK Manager** make sure to update the API's for the level you are using in the emulator click the **SDK Platforms** panel all the ones that need updating will show up there. – Mihai Nov 09 '17 at 16:49
  • Thanks for you response Mihai. I tried all you specified above but am still getting the same error.Emulator: emulator: WARNING: UpdateCheck: Failure: Error. – tobbyioa Nov 13 '17 at 09:15

I had the same problem with Android studio 3.0.1, tried to follow above but didn't work.

Strangely changing the Target from "Open Select Deployment Target Dialog" to "Emulator" in "Run/Debug Configurations" fixed this problem.

Test app has been installed. After successful installation, I have reverted back the Target still works.

May be your h/w acceleration is disabled. You should try enabling h/w acceleration through BIOS. This might help with slow speed.

Make sure you have a stabile internet connection with your preferred Proxy settings. My corporate proxy settings caused this error.

Wiping data for your virtual device might also do the trick (Wipe data from Actions dropdown).

Cleaning Android Studio Project and Restarting the Emulator helped me.
