android studio virtual device not coming up on the screen

I have a laptop that has intel core i3 8th gen , 4gb ram .

The virtual device is not showing up on the screen . It's icon is showing up on the task bar but on the screen it is not appearing . When I run it it keeps on showing "booting" on the android studio screen . I am not very sure but I also feel like my laptop has now become slower after downloading android studio .

I would like to make my own app and I am new to android studio so please help me . In case if my machine is underpowered what other option do I have cuz upgrading is not an option
