Android studio displaying error: Failed to load JVM

Error Message
The error message I'm receiving reads:
Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr\\bin\server\jvm.dll
If you already have a JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.
I am running a 2022 Framework laptop with Windows 11, attempting to install 64-bit Electric Eel Android Studio. I believe this problem originated when I was attempting to uninstall Android Studio after running (breaking) an emulator.
It appears in a small window instead of Android Studio. I already tried uninstalling every Java-related thing, reinstalling Java from the Oracle website, hard resetting my whole computer and deleting all files, and reinstalling Android Studio. Is there any way that I can easily reconfigure it?

I just had this exact problem happen to me today after the same update. I went through this thread to find me solution:
Android Studio Failed to Load JVM DLL
Sounds like there are different fixes out out there. I had to try several before getting it to work.
Good luck!

I faced the same problem after installing android studio release electric eel on a fresh windows device. It turns out I was missing JDK.
So what I did was
Installed the JDK
Set the jdk's bin location to path
Set JAVA_HOME variable

for me this solution worked:
1.Set JAVA_HOME variable: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-19
2.Set in PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-19\bin

Thanks for all the help guys! I ended up installing Microsoft Visual C++ X64, and then restarting Android Studio.

Tizen Install on Windows 10 will not recognize JDK 9 installed

I am attempting to install the 64-bit version of Tizen SDK on my Win10 Home Laptop. However, every time I get the error that I either don't have java 8+ installed or that the JAVA_HOME environmental variable isn't set right.
Now I've read other questions on this, and I've set the JDK directory as first in the "Path" environmental variable. I've added the JAVA_HOME environ. var and pointed it at my JDK directory. I've rebooted twice throughout this (just in case).
I tried to install the 32-bit version of Tizen SDK, but immediately got the error that I'm not on a 32-bit OS.
I have d/l and installed Java 9 SDK and JRE. They're in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9 &
C:\Program Files\Java\jre-9 respectively.
Here's my Path variable:

Any help would be mucho appreciated!

** So far Tizen studio installer can't recognize new version of Java. **
You need to install Oracle Java 8 for now.
Additional Checklist:
[✔] Tizen developers site states "Do not install OpenJDK". Make sure you are using OracleJDK instead of OpenJDK. Related links you might see:

Tizen-sdk-for-wearable-setup Installation issue because of JAVA HOME
Edit on March, 2019:
Tizen-Studio now supports OpenJDK 10
To use Tizen Studio install Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) 8, JDK 9, or OpenJDK 10 .

OpenJDK 10 and OpenJFX Installation Guideline on Tizen Developers Site

I was stuck there for a while, too. In addition to setting JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1 (no bin at the end), I also added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin to the beginning of PATH; then it worked.

I've had the same problem, therefore i installed JDK8 from oracle website and the installer works fine. (no need to reboot) If you don't need specific JDK9 stuff, go with 8 and you will be good to go. Don't forget to update JAVA_HOME and Path to point to JDK8.
I have set as user variables CLASSPATH set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_144\lib, JAVA_HOME set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144
As system variables i've added to the existing Path this value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin and JAVA_HOME the same as above (even though i'm not sure the latter one is required).
PS. I have both JDK8 and 9 installed and Windows 10 64bit. I tried installing Tizen on debian using JDK9 and i got the same error, i'm sure that using JDK8 will work (need to check installation on OSX though)
Cheers!

On my M1 Mac with macOS 12, I was having trouble getting the Tizen package manager to run. It kept giving me:
Java Development Kit (JDK) was not found on your computer. To use the Tizen Studio, you need to install the JDK 8 or later. Please go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads and download a JDK.
Deleting ~/.package-manager solved the issue.

In my case adding "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2\bin" (with the quotes) to the PATH did the trick, i.e. the installer run successfully

Information on the tizen website is incomplete. On Windows 10 using OpenJDK follow the article and you need to enter another environment and system parameters after adding Java_home.
Parameter is "PATH" value is "%JAVA_HOME%\bin" otherwise Tizen Studio installation wont recognize it.

I download the IDE of version 3.2 and install the open jdk10, IDE can load successfully, but load the emulator failed when click the tools -> emulator manager.
error: could not create the java virtual machine.
my setting:
path: %JAVA_HOME%\bin
JAVA_PATH: c\jdk-10
what's the problem here? please give some suggestions.

The only thing that worked for me in the end was:
Uninstall the recent Java version and install Java SE 8u231.
After that, I tried Tizen 1.3, and it worked.
I don't know if the newer versions works, but the above worked for me for now.

Android Studio: Failed to load JVM DLL

I have thoroughly researched this problem and the posted solutions have not worked for me.
I'm running Windows 8, and the most recent JAVA JDK (64 bit) and Android Studio versions.
[System specs: new XPS 13, core i5, 8GB RAM, SSD]
The exact error is:
Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
If you already have a 64-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in ... Environment Variables
-- Verification --
java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b15)..
-- Things I've tried --
Uninstall java and AS, reboot, install 64 bit java jdk, verify installation, reboot, install AS, set JAVA_HOME variable
YES, the viable is an Environment variable and not a User variable
I have added the /bin/ directory to the "path" environment variable
I have reversed the slashes in the environment variable paths as per one solution stated
Followed the uninstall/reinstall process stated above, but with a 32bit jdk instead (with the correct environment variable paths)
Done the whole process over (uninstalling, rebooting after installs, etc.) but with older JDKs
I have tried running studio.exe with 32 bit JDK installed, and studio64.exe with the 64 bit JDK installed
I feel like I've tried everything. I HAD to have screwed up somewhere along the line. Any idea?

Try running android studio as Administrator. That worked for me. Try installing a different version of Android Studio.

This worked for me...
Try running studio64.exe instead of studio.exe.

I had to install vcruntime140_1.dll via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 to solve the this issue. I used process monitor to see that it was missing.

Tried everything nothing worked. Restarted my laptop, Android Studio works perfectly.

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ X86 or X64 from here and AS started up fine.

you said you have added /bin/ directory to the "path" environment variable, if you are putting C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin .that is wrong it should be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\client to path system variable and you put it as first item.
I checked my java installation path. I found jvm.dll is located at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\server please check yours.
see the screen shot.

I got it working. I uninstalled everything again. Reinstalled the 64 bit jdk, remade the environment variable, rebooted, reinstalled Android Studio and it still was not working.
I downloaded the 32 bit JDK just got giggles and installed it. I did not uninstall the 64 bit java... I pointed the environment variable to the 32 bit JDK directory and tried to launch Androd studio with the 32 bit .exe (not studio64.exe), and it worked.
I guess I'll have to live without 64 bit.
Thanks for the help, everyone.

Error while running a program on Android Studio

Error in android while trying to start Virtual Device Manager:
Cannot launch AVD manager.
Output:
"C:\PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~2\sdk\tools\lib\\find_java.exe" -s' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
Tools, you need a suitable version of Java JDK installed on your system.
We recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
If you already have Java installed, you can define the JAVA_HOME environment
variable in Control Panel / System / Avanced System Settings to point to the
JDK folder.
You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
I have reinstalled java jdk several times, i have also set the JAVA_HOME variable correctly.
This problem also persisted in eclipse so i installed android studio.
Exact value of JAVA_HOME : "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\".
If any further detail is needed i 'll provide it in comments.

AFAIK, AndroidStudio generally looks out for JRE stuff and Eclipse looks out for JDK stuff. This is what I've done to make both Eclipse and AS work in my system:
Set 2 Environment Variables like below and see if it works..It worked for me without issues
JAVA_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java
JDK_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Hope this helps...

Android SDK - java not found

This problem was asked many times, but none of solutions doesnt help me.
I am using Windows 7 SP1 (x64), JDK 1.7.0_03 (x86), JRE 7 (x86) and Android SDK Tools r16.
When I install Android SDK Tools it says -
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 1.7 has been found
But after install SDK Manager closes instantly. android.bat and find_java.bat say -
WARNING: Java not found in your path.
I have tried set enviroment variables JAVA_HOME, PATH manually but this doesnt help. Searching solution many hours, setting variables, reinstalling java / sdk - nothing helps.
Thanks in advance.

Install the x86 version, not the 64 bit version.

Android requires Java 1.5 or 1.6.
I haven't tested this, but I have seen posts about Android working with 1.7 as long as you also have 1.6 installed. Although this requires having two versions of java installed, and I am not sure it's worth it.

maybe you are using JRE, not JDK.
You can check which java you are using with: where java

I just set a Environment Variable named JAVA_HOME with the value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\
The problem is solved and sdk works properly.

Well, I was facing the same problem, I found that the error might be a resolved by doing the following.
Download Android SDK, try to install, you get a java error (if you don't have it)
Typically you go download java, install and hit retry - but fail.
Adding JAVA_HOME didn't help, so I rebooted the pc and tried again.
Success, I don't know if it's the reboot after installing JAVA, or reboot after adding JAVA_HOME that solved the problem. One of them did the trick.
My recommendation is :
1. Install JAVA (in my case 1.7 x64), reboot.
2. Install android sdk, if it fails, add JAVA_HOME as explained above somewhere, reboot.
3. Install the sdk.

I know that this may be outdated, but someone would probably find it useful. I had this problem myself, easiest(maybe dirty) solution I came up with is to change the default location when installing android studio.
Something like this :
C:\Program files\Java\jdk-xxx\
to =>
C:\Program files(x86)\Java\jkd-xxx\
Installer is searching in x86 Program files folder probably for a 32bit version, but its working perfectly for me this way :)

If you believe you have JDK installed and it was not properly recognized, set SDK Location on Eclipse (Windows > Preference). You can open/Update SDK Manager thru Eclipse.
Work fine in my Windows 7 SP1 (x64), JDK 1.7.0_03 (x64), JRE 7 (x64) and Android SDK Tools r17.
