I think I have the answer. The Android Studio Bundle installer installs the sdk to C:/Android/sdk. But the first-run install wizard installs the sdk to c:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk.

On a clean install, the fix is to correct the first-run-wizard sdk path to C:/Android/sdk. The wizard provides a dialog box to do this. Do it before you click "continue", and everything is fine.

A possible workaround for now is to use the command-line tool in the tools/bin/sdkmanager. More info here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager.html

Solution 4:

Quickest fix to this is to create the folder C:/Android/sdk manually. Then go back into SDK Manager settings and point it at that location. It will then allow you to download the SDK.
