Android Emulator 27.3.6 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.

This update contains the following changes:
  • Fixed crashes after initial snapshot load when loading color buffers from the snapshot.
  • Fixed potential memory corruption when saving snapshots of OpenGL shader program info logs.
  • Fixed potential memory corruption when checking CPUID of the host system.
  • On AMD machines running the latest Windows 10 and where Windows Hypervisor Platform can be successfully enabled, the emulator can now boot API level 26+ x86 / x86_64 AVDs in accelerated mode.
    • Warning: We have found that enabling Hyper-V or Windows Hypervisor Platform on many AMD Ryzen machines, especially laptops with Vega GPUs, can cause Windows to become unbootable. We only recommend trying this if your AMD system is already successfully running with Windows Hypervisor Platform enabled. 
    • Fix: If Windows has become unbootable because of enabling Windows Hypervisor Platform, disable virtualization in your system BIOS and reboot, which should allow you to disable the feature.
We greatly appreciate your bug reports, which help us to make Android Emulator better. If you encounter a problem, let us know by reporting a bug. Note that you can also vote for an existing issue to indicate that you are also affected by it.
