Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Output: PANIC: HOME is defined but could not find Nexus_4_API_23.ini file in $HOME.android\avd (Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME.android\avd and $HOME.android\avd)

From Android Studio Go to File > Settings > SDK manager -> SDK tools, and then find Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator, click and install it. and then go to C:\Users\YourPCName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\Inter\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and click on intelhaxm-android to install it.

Please note the file destination names may vary a little bit. Also, you may need to enable Intel Virtual Technology from BIOS.

I fixed the problem by doing the following

Although I installed Android studio on the D drive and downloaded the necessary files for the AVD emulator, Android Studio is still looking for the files on the C drive

I copied the files inside D:.......android\avd to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME.android\avd

It worked

Hope this helps
