Android Studio - The system cannot find the file specified. When compiling for the first time

Create a new project with the latest version of the androidstudio ide. When the environment is opened, it shows me this error in the log and it crashes: I enter image description here tried to clean the cache, open/close, but I can't find in google what could be the error. Since I'm on windows 10, I put Run as admin, but it didn't work either.

    After struggling with this quite a bit, I identified that android studio has problems with accounts that contain a " _ ". In the pc account name, example in my case User_.

    From what I gather android has problems with directories with hyphens or certain characters. At least in my case, as I mentioned it was the underscore.

    Since I couldn't modify that for reasons, I solved it as follows:

    1. uninstall android studio
    2. Delete the .android and .graddle directories
    3. Create a user account and give it another name. Ex: cristianB
    4. Login to that account, download android studio
    5. When you start select custom installation or custom (depending on the language)
    6. Select the directory of the new user account to install in that location. Ex: C:/users/cristianB
    7. Next and wait for it to download the packages and updates
    8. Finish and open android studio, create a project and try to compile, run.

    Hopefully this will help you, I solved it for windows 10.
