I have a laptop that I mainly use for android development on android studio, today all of the sudden got this error message (or an outdated version of it) when i ran my emulator

Your GPU driver information:

GPU #1
Make: 8086
Model: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Device ID: 0a16
Driver version: 10.18.10.3945
GPU #2
Make: 10de
Model: NVIDIA GeForce 820M
Device ID: 1140
Driver version: 22.21.13.8476 

Some users have experienced emulator stability issues with this driver version. As a result, were selecting a compatibility renderer. Please check with your manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver available.

Updated the geforce driver, but no use, tried to update the intel one but failed, is there a way to disable this? bypass the compatibility renderer and work as I used to, the emulator is awful now. Any explanation why that occurred all of the sudden?

Also I'm using windows 7 64-bit if that will help with anything, had an update few days ago.

On Mac OS (currenly i'm using Catalina)

  1. First move to emulator directory I use the default location

    cd /Users/yourusername/Library/Android/sdk/emulator

  2. Search list of emulator

    ./emulator -list-avds

    example my output is : Pixel_2_XL_API_27

  3. Running emulator using -gpu command

    ./emulator -avd Pixel_2_XL_API_27 -gpu host

How do I update my GPU drivers? Select Windows Start > Control Panel. Open Device Manager. (Or Search Start for Device Manager.) Click the arrow next to Display Adapters. Right-click on Intel HD Graphics and choose Update Driver. Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.
