The emulator starts up fine. But when you long-press the power button (or F7) and choose "Power off", it displays a "Shutting down" message which remains on-screen forever and the emulator won't actually shut down.

I can close the emulator window or kill its process. But I'm wondering if this is the correct way to shut down an Android emulator.

  1. Open Android Studio
  2. Go AVD Manager
  3. Go Actions Tab
  4. Click arrow
  5. You will see stop
  6. Click and emulator shut down :)

If the device is stopped in a bad state, this may persist when relaunching the emulator. To get around this, simply select 'Cold Boot Now' from the virtual device's drop down menu in the manager.
