"The emulator process Pixel_4_XL_API_30 was killed" error in Android Studio typically occurs when the emulator fails to start or encounters issues during the startup process. Here are some possible solutions to fix this error:

  1. Update Android Emulator: Make sure you have the latest version of the Android Emulator installed. You can check for updates in the Android Studio SDK Manager.

  2. Increase Emulator Memory: Sometimes, the emulator may fail to start if it doesn't have enough memory allocated. You can try increasing the memory allocated to the emulator by going to AVD Manager, selecting the virtual device, and clicking on the "Edit" button. In the Virtual Device Configuration, under "Memory and Storage," increase the values for RAM and VM Heap.

  3. Disable Hyper-V: If you are using Windows with Hyper-V enabled, it can conflict with the Android Emulator. Try disabling Hyper-V and see if the emulator starts properly. You can disable Hyper-V from the "Turn Windows features on or off" section in the Control Panel.

  4. Use a Different Emulator: If the issue persists with a specific emulator configuration, try using a different device or API level. Create a new virtual device with a different configuration and see if the emulator starts without any errors.

  5. Check System Requirements: Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements to run the Android Emulator. Check the documentation for the specific version of the emulator you are using and verify that your system meets the requirements.

  6. Restart Android Studio and the Emulator: Sometimes, a simple restart of Android Studio and the emulator can resolve temporary issues. Close Android Studio, shut down the emulator, and then start them again.

If none of the above solutions work, you can try reinstalling the Android Emulator or even Android Studio itself to ensure a clean installation.

Remember to check the logs and error messages in the Android Studio console for more specific details about the issue.
