For android studio 4.1 path is different: C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions And yes, that file caused the error on start. Thank you, @Wasim – Benedicto

Answer 4

You should:
- Use Windowx x64 (64 bit, because your computer has 4GB RAM).
- Use lastest JDK (1.8 update 92, x64) for Windows
- Important:
Press combination keys: Windows + R or Run utility.
type: systempropertiesadvanced

set environment variable:
JAVA_HOME directory where JDK installed.
add to PATH variable: %JAVA_HOME%\bin

Not Working these settings had been already done before, the error occured suddenly – Trillion

Answer 5

Delete this file studio64.exe.vmoptions inside

C:\Users\%USER%\.AndroidStudio{version}\config

Answer 6

I have had set JAVA_HOME variable appropriately but that didn't work for me. The only thing that worked was running studio.bat file inside C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin. So, you can set shortcut target to point to the studio.bat file.

NOTES:

• I am using OpenJDK (Installed via AdoptOpenJDK)
• Android Studio version is 4.1.2
