From the docs:

To run the AVD Manager, do one of the following:

  • In Android Studio, select Tools > Android > AVD Manager.
  • Click AVD Manager in the toolbar.

Neither of these things exist.

I went into the settings and found the AVD Manager menu item that isn't displayed, and assigned it a keyboard shortcut, but it didn't do anything.

Other sources on the web mention running android avd to start the AVD Manager, but this was deprecated and removed.

**************************************************************************
The "android" command is deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat
and tools\bin\avdmanager.bat
**************************************************************************

Invalid or unsupported command "avd"

How do I open the AVD Manager?

Bump into this problem when installing Android Studio on a new machine. In my case the problem was that Intel Virtualization was not enable on BIOS.

Android Studio installed successfully but the menu option Tools->AVD Manager was not available. The problem was identified only when i try to reinstall manually Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager - Intel HAXM

The following steps were done, not all should be required for everyone:

1) Enable Intel Virtualization on computer BIOS
2) Reinstall Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager - Intel HAXM
3) Clone the project again from git
4) Synchronize gradle. Take long minutes to download all packages again.
5) Rebuild project

Only after this steps the menu Tools->AVD Manager appear. The run option for module App also become available at this time. Before that run module was an empty box.

Note: My Android Studio Version was 3.2
