Hello, I have Windows10 Pro, with Hyper-v installed. I am using the Google repository for getting the Android emulator, and every time I try to load my project for debugging, VS2019Community freezes for just over a minute. The app loads in the emulator kind of slow, but it's a debug build so I'm expecting some slow down.
My project has a 1gb memory space for the Jvm in the Android project file.
Does anyone have any off the top of the head things to check? or should I expect that a minute or so is not bad?
Computer is a Acer Predator Helios 300 315-p1 64gb Ram 3.86ghz cpu. I think the GPU is running on the intel instead of the nvidia, but I don't know if VS is GPU optimized for non game code.
Anyhow any ideas would be most appreciated.
The emulator is very slow in general, especially for PCs with less sophisticated hardware.
For a better experience, do try using the Intel Emulators - http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/configuring_the_x86_emulator - but these are still not as good as a real device.
You can try to improve the performance of your emulator by reading through article:

Excellent! Thanks!
I'm sure that anything that I can get from those will make this FAR better than it is now!
Cheers!
