Visual Studio 2022 Xamarin Android SDK installing Emulator "Operation Failed: Installing Androi-CodePudding

I am currently trying to install the Android Emulator via the Android SDK and Tools dialog. But I am receiving the Error Message:

Operation Failed: Installing Android Emulatorv31.2.10 "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values".

I removed all set up devices so far still no success. As for SDK Build Tools I have 33, 32 and 31 installed and Platforms as well 33, 32, 31

I am facing the same issue and I think I got the solution.

Do the following. There are multiple steps here. Did a lot of trial and error. First install Google Play Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image.

Then once you install it, the emulator should be installed automatically.

It took me quite a long time, with multiple steps being involved.

Had to restart the laptop several times.

Take a look at the following screenshots.

Interesting enough I wasn't able to install the emulator for some reason. The answer from VikekDev did not work as well.

What I did was I removed all sdk installed them again tried install the emulator -> failed.

Then I tried to create a device in the device manager (API31) which interesting enough worked. Then I booted the device and suddenly the emulator came up and booted the created device. VS then complained that my target version is < 31 which fair enough is true and for testing I set it to 31 and now my App compiled and was able to deploy in the emulator as well.

If I now check the SDKs and Tools a Emulator is present again.

So maybe it pulled the correct emulator when I added the device? I am not sure what fixed it but maybe some of my steps or VivekDev post will help someone else tackle the problem.
