title: ERROR Android emulator gets killed in Android Studio
body: <p>After updating to Android Studio 2 when I try to run my application and choose an emulator, I wait for the emulator to start and it suddenly gets killed. I can see the emulator process for some minutes but never the GUI. In Android studio, I get the error</p>
  <pre><code>android studio Error while waiting for the device: The emulator process for AVD was killed
  </code></pre>
  <p>This happens even if I run the emulator outside Android Studio. I have tried both an Android 6 and an Android 4.4-based emulator.
  Running on a Windows 7 x64 PC. Similar post to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36526037/the-emulator-process-for-avd-was-killed-in-android-studio2">another StackOverflow post</a> which was closed. I have tried various ram, VM heap, and resolution settings.</p>
