1. Install the Command-Line Tools (alongside the SDK):

1. Insofar as it's the sole AVD emulator (not image) installed:
~~~sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
$HOME/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/avdmanager delete avd -n $($HOME/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -list-avds)
$HOME/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager "system-images;android-CANARY;google_apis_playstore_ps16k;$(uname -m)"
$HOME/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/avdmanager create avd -k "system-images;android-CANARY;google_apis_playstore_ps16k;$(uname -m)" -d pixel_tablet --name CANARY_google_apis_playstore_ps16k_pixel_tablet
$HOME/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -avd $($HOME/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -list-avds) -verbose
~~~
Otherwise, specify the name.
My suspicion of the cause is that, because the new version of the emulator is rotated, and does not include a border, when it was updated, this caused the previous image to become inconsistent:
