I imagine most Android emulators do that Gerard. You can try Abraham's advice w.r.t. MemuPlay https://community.appinventor.mit.edu/t/mit-app-inventor-setup-is-not-responding/19139/10 or these possibilities https://community.appinventor.mit.edu/t/unable-to-download-emulator-for-windows/26564/2 . Will any solve your issue? I have no idea.
MIT only offers the basic emulator to work seamlessly with App Inventor. To use an alternative emulator one will enter it using Companion instead of the 'Emulator' option .
Here is a link to an MIT experimental replacement emulator Windows: http://ai2-buildserver-nightly-ewp.csail.mit.edu/setuptools-beta/MIT_App_Inventor_Tools_26.251.0_win_setup.exe .
It was posted in 2019 and my experience is it has lots of bugs. You could try that.
