Android Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset

I'm sure (hope?) Google will fix this bug soon, but in the meantime all the popup notifications are very annoying. For me the emulator seems to be working fine. I just wanted to temporarily disable the popup notification.

You can do that by selecting the Settings icon on the popup. Then choose No popup from the menu for Emulator.

I left the Log checkbox checked so that I can still monitor the Event Log.

I had same issue for emulator running Oreo. Emulator won't boot up and throw message 'Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset '.

I solved it by following;

1. Launch standalone sdk manager

2. Download "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" under API 26 (OREO)

3. Launch avd manager from sdk manager > tools > manager avds.. (not from android studio).
4. Create or edit AVD.
5. Under CPU/ABI choose image "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" (instead of "Google API Intel x86 atom Image")
6. Start AVD. It should work.
