Android emulator - Don't save state by default

Patrick Beagan picture Patrick Beagan · Dec 29, 2017 · Viewed 25k times · Source

In the latest update for Android studio, the emulator has started saving snapshots of the current state of the device by default and going back to that snapshot when reopened, which is not the behavior that I want. How can I disable that and go back to the previous behavior, where it just closes and resets the emulator?
