Solution

  • Just found the solution.

    I tried to launch Android Studio from the Start menu, which provoked that issue. So I tried to launch from its main directory and it worked. The shortcut target path was wrong.

    Shortcut target path Before:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin\studio64.exe
    

    Real executable path:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\studio.exe
    

    The studio.exe and studio64.exe inside bin folder doesn't work, but the one in android-studio seems to work perfectly. Just change the shortcut's target to that path and you're ready to launch it properly from the Start Menu.
