I have followed the instructions on [link](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/emulator-installation#webos-tv-3.0) to install webos emulator vs 3 & 4 on windows. I have also used this alternative procedure [link](https://www.webosose.org/docs/tools/sdk/emulator/virtualbox-emulator/emulator-user-guide/) but despite the method i choose, i just cant seem to get the emulator to boot. It’s stuck at: ‘Booting the kernel’. Any help would be greatly appreciated ---

Please uninstall old webOS TV SDK and use webOS Studio extension. You can refer to [Prepare for installation](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/webos-studio-installation#prepare-for-installation). Thank you.
