Visual Studio 2019 Xamarin Forms android emulator failing with message System UI isn't responding

Issue

Getting an error message, 'System UI isn't responding.' and it gives me the options 'Close app' or 'Wait' when debugging Xamarin.Forms. This is on the emulator that launches. I have set the memory at 512 and the resolution at 800x600 as some have suggested in other threads. I also did a 'factory reset.' Nothing has helped so far.

Are there any other options that may get me past this? I just purchased a Xamarin class from Udemy and can't even get past the first few videos.

I should mention that I do not think I am short on resources. I have two 500 GB SSD drives and the following memory and processor specs.

Solution

First of all, please make sure your have enabled the Hardware acceleration for emulator, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/hardware-acceleration?pivots=windows

If you enabled it, please delete this emulator, create a emulator like this screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/ZyBakKc
