Android Studio start many instance of java.exe until run out of ram

Question

Recently I encountered this error of Android Studio 4.1 . It start many instance of java.exe (OpenJDK Platform binary) until run out of RAM (I have 10gb of RAM).

I cannot sync, build projects. I have uninstall it and reinstall Android Studio 4.1 but the same thing happened. This is the error message I receive from AS after 10 minutes it build (normally only takes about 2 mins) : The first result from the daemon was empty. Most likely the process died immediately after connection.

Does anyone have this error and how to fix it? Thanks.

I have the exact problem, Just now 100 openJDk platform binary processes were created, that keeps happening till the RAM gets full, Have you found a solution for this problem?? — Mustafa Shahoud, Nov 05 '20 at 22:16
@MustafaShahoud restart the whole laptop wont work for me so I shutdown and wait a little bit and I turn it back on. Then it worked. — ngoson, Nov 06 '20 at 03:35
For me the problem seems to be in the Mobile hotspot, I have turned it off, since that time the problem has been disappeared. — Mustafa Shahoud, Nov 23 '20 at 17:52
Mobile Hotspot was the problem for me too. Thank you @MustafaShahoud . — Hossein Hadi, Dec 31 '20 at 14:18

I have found the problem. I use Mobile Hotspot on Windows 10, switched it off and the Gradle deamon will run normal again.

I did not realize that VPN can create such trouble until I fixed it by uninstalling VPN software. I have been trying to uninstall Android Studio and Java more than 3 times but got no luck until I read that VPN also can rise this issue.
