The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator - a virtual mobile device that runs on your computer. The emulator allows you to develop and test Android applications without the use of a physical device. This emulator performs poorly, that is, at startup and performance in running applications. How do I resolve this issue?

I'll show you 2 options you can use to remedy this problem or at least ease it:
1. If you are using a computer with an Intel processor that has Intel Virtualization technology, install the package that supports choosing the Intel CPU in the creation of the AVD. Open the SDK Manager with the android command and install the "Intel x86 Atom System Image" package for the version of Android you want to use as in the figure below:
