The emulator won't show up until you start it. Click the AVD Manager in the menu, choose one of the virtual devices listed, and click the play or run button next to it. It will take time to start up, depending on the hardware of your PC. You can follow the progress at the bottom of Android Studio where you see a loading bar while the emulator is warming up.
