We made sure to enlist a few solutions for the issue at hand. If you’re unable to run Android Studio on Windows 10, follow the steps we provided below.

Can’t run Android Studio on Windows 10? Here’s what to do

1: Make sure you have installed SDK

The strange occurrence of applications working on Windows 7 or Windows 8 and suddenly failing on Windows 10 is nothing new. However, in this case, the majority of users were able to run Android Studio on Windows 10 as seamlessly as they did on previous Windows iterations. Just some users weren’t able to do run this development tool, even after multiple tries.

Even though this is rare, we still must advise you to check the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) from Oracle. Without it, Android Studio won’t work. Even if you upgraded to Windows 10 over previous iterations, reinstalling this tool might help. Maybe some pieces haven’t migrated with the system and that’s what’s causing the problem in the first place.

2: Run application as admin and in a compatibility mode

Another applicable approach whenever a third-party application won’t work is to grant it the administrative permission. In addition, running the program in a compatibility mode might help as well. Lots of third-party applications won’t work as intended on Windows 10 due to a more restrictive nature of the system.

However, you can, as we said, troubleshoot this by tweaking the compatibility options. Follow the steps below to allow the administrative permission to Android Studio:

3: Disable UAC and antivirus

Even we can’t openly recommend disabling UAC (User Account Control) in Windows (due to obvious security reasons), you can try it out temporarily. When it comes to more delicate and complex applications, which Android Studio certainly is, the system-imposed restrictions might be too much. SPONSORED

Here’s how to disable UAC in Windows 10: Moreover, while we’re talking about restrictions, a third-party antivirus can occasionally block the execution of various applications. For that reason, if you’ve entrusted system protection to a third-party solution, make sure to disable it temporarily. Certain users managed to get Android Studio to work when real-time protection was off.

4: Reinstall all associated applications

Finally, all remaining solutions we can grasp and include in this list point towards the reinstallation. Now, as we already mentioned, a system upgrade to Windows 10 should allow you to use all applications from previous Windows iteration. However, in this scenario, we highly recommend reinstalling everything and starting from a scratch.
