For those who don't see the 2 files, Note: hardware-qemu.ini.lock comes as a folder in the 2022 Android Studio version. Inside that folder is a pid file. Just move the pid file to a temporary or new folder and launch the emulator again. Worked for me!!!

[@kayenkay]

Hell yeah! Thanks!

[@asitadeka4010]

Thank you so much mam
After 3hrs of continuous seeing all videos I finally found the solution in your and it worked

[@Kemakemak]

I had to close Android Studio before I was able to delete the .lock files.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this solution!

This problem appeared out of nowhere for me. I used to just be able to open and close the emulator without a problem. Is there a way to make it like that again. It gets annoying having to do this everytime.
