Hi @JessieZhang-MSFT
See the screenshots below, using VS 2019 community edition. Also when running default Device, get below error:
Device error: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.

Since you want to start your android emulator( vertion 7.1), have you checked if you have installed the necessary libraries for android7.1?

Could you please post the screenshots of your Android Setting by clicking menu Tools-> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Settings ?

Besides, you can try to update your VS to the latest version.
