emulator can't open pstore.bin: Permission denied

Been stuck for 10 days trying to find a way round the emulator hanging. Android Studio 3.1 reports Waiting for device to come online. I think it is due to the emulator not having the right permissions. Working on Windows 7 pro
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
