According to the limitations mentioned in the docs:

Currently, you can't use the emulator's extended controls when it's running in a tool window. If your development workflow depends heavily on the extended controls, continue to use the Android Emulator as a standalone application.

You can go back to using it as a standalone application by:

  1. Click File > Settings > Tools > Emulator
  2. Deselect "Launch in a tool window"

You can also click F1 on emulator to get those settings
