Why am I unable to emulate android 2.3.3 when I am able to emulate android 4.1 onwards?

Issue

I've been trying to test some apps on the android 2.3.3 SDKs, but haven't gotten past the boot screen on every attempt. Trying to run any emulator newer than 2.3.3 works just fine. I don't get any errors when I try to run it, it just stops booting for some reason. Using the -debug all command shows that it starts running in a loop. Attempting to shut down the emulator isn't possible unless doing it from task manager. Do you know what I've done wrong and how to fix it?

I have already attempted changing the graphics, multi-core, and memory settings, as well as booting from cold, wiping data, booting from CMD with/without acceleration. Nothing seems to actually be wrong with the emulator which is why it's so confusing. I'll post the startup logs but I'm not sure if it'll be any help. I can also attach the debug logs if needed, though it's quite long so I'll leave it out for now. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I'm currently running this on windows 10 home edition with an AMD processor. Virtualization is enabled and while I was unable to disable hyper-V from the features panel, I did follow a guide as a workaround for it.

Solution

Android Studio v2 would be required, eg. from May 11, 2017 (possibly with an old version of the emulator, also to be installed from the archives). Try --gpu swiftshader_indirect for software renderer (or any other non-accelerated mode); it seems to fail at emulator_window_fb_rotate.
