Could you attach a video of this happening ?

I'll try to get more details, but wanted to bring it up at least.

Please specify your OS, CPU, GPU, the emulator version, the system image you use and how your start the emulator (standalone or embedded into AS).

Hi okynk91, thank you for screen recording, we will investigate. I see you run the emulator in the AS window. Could you please try running it in its own window (see the attached screenshot)?

I see only canary reports above. For me, this also happens in stable; Giraffe patch 4. Started after updating to latest emulator and it happens every 20-30 minutes or so. Restarting the emulator fixes it for a while. Will try running in its own window.

I'm having the same issue - everything works fine when the emulator is in it's own window. It seems that when in tool window, it just does not refresh the screen content - the system and apps work fine and when I use layout inspector on frozen emulator I can see the UI in real time when it's being inspected. The emulator also respons to touch events and other types of events normally, it just does not update UI.

Hi folks, if UI freezes for you could you please put your emulator version here? You can find it in emulator's extended panel, Help > About. It should look like 34.1.12-11146273.

Mine is 34.1.11-11086671, freezing when docked inside Studio. I've been using it in a separate window since this issue and it hasn't frozen again. ("Frozen" as mentioned above: not updating until you manually switch between panels, then 1 new frame is shown).
