I've got a couple of Android emulators in Windows Android Studio that work fine but are API 27. I've tried installing new emulators from the AVD manager but when I select them my project seems to build but the emulator never begins and the app exits.
I've run a command prompt and run:
C:\Users\sean\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator>emulator -avd Pixel_4a_API_30
but it just returns:
emulator: ERROR: Can't find 'Linux version ' string in kernel image file: D:\Android\androidSDK/system-images\android-30\google_apis\x86_64/kernel-ranchu
and for other emulators I've installed:
emulator: ERROR: Can't find 'Linux version ' string in kernel image file: D:\Android\androidSDK/system-images\android-30\google_apis\x86/kernel-ranchu-64
Not sure why it seems to be looking for the file ending -64 in the x86 folder, but the non -64 file in the x86_64 folder.....?
I've got the very latest Emulator (30.7.5) which other answers to this sort of question seem to suggest needs updating, so that doesn't seem to be the problem
