Installed Android Studio. Created a device. Did a "Cold Boot Now" and it just sits there and never connects.

I get the message "Connecting to the Emulator" and that's it.

You can try to use images from the Other images tab. You can see this tab while creating new AVD after choosing device.

Some people have had issues like this with the embedded, tool window emulator. You can launch the emulator as a separate process by going to Android Studio preferences, Tools -> Emulator and unchecking "Launch in a tool window".
