Android studio displaying error: Failed to load JVM

Question

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?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

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

1. Installed the JDK
2. Set the jdk's bin location to path
3. Set JAVA_HOME variable

Answer 3

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