Unable to launch Surface Duo emulator in Windows 11
Here's my environment(s): Surface Book 2 running Windows 11 Surface Book 3 running Windows 10 I have the Surface Duo emulator installed on both systems. On Surface Book 3 the emulator starts...
I appreciate your response. Before I go into all your suggestions, let me describe a few more things.
Since my post, I uninstalled all Android emulation software (Android studio, emulators from the visual studio installer), and uninstalled Xamarin completely. I also uninstalled all the Surface Duo emulators as well. After a reboot and checking for any updates, I went ahead and did a fresh install of Xamarin and the latest android emulator packages through visual studio installer.
I loaded my project in Visual Studio 2022 and tried to debug it with the default android emulator that was created. I still get all the same issues (the android emulator loads the skin, but then the whole emulator disappears).
So I believe this is first an android emulator issue. I think I need to fix this before moving on to installing/running the Surface Duo emulators.
With this being said, I'll look over your above comments and suggestions to see if anything there could fix the android emulator issue, but barring that, do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve the android emulator not working?
Here are the specs and details that you may need:
Windows 11 Pro (Version 21H2, Build 22000.613)
Visual Studio 2022 (17.1.5)
Xamarin 17.1.0.329 (d17-1@bc74cf0)
Xamarin.Android SDK 12.2.4.3 (d17-1/fc1125e)

Thanks for your detailed post.
Just one last question you maybe told us already - or what I witnessed it earlier the year.
I could not use the VS Android emulator with Android Studio and vice versa. But I guess you already sorted it out.
Did you check the emulator's log? (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/26449/does-the-android-emulator-generate-some-sort-of-log-file-i-can-access-if-it-cras)
