'Android Studio Windows: Debugger process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)

I have both native code and Java in my app so I need to be able to debug both Java and native code.

After upgrading to Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Patch 2, I can no longer debug my app with native debugging enabled. If the 'Debug type:' is set to Java Only, I can run in debug mode and trace through Java code but cannot trace into native functions. If 'Debug type:' is set to Detect Automatically, Native Only or Dual (Java+Native) the debugger fails to start.

I never had trouble debugging native code before. When I try to start in debug mode I get the following error:

Debugger process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135). A library required by the native debugger might be missing on your system.

How do I find out what library is missing? I upgraded everything that Android Studio said had updates.

Go to "Run->Edit Configurations" then select the "Debugger" menu item and check to see if "Debug type" was set to "Detect Automatically". If so, try setting it to "Java Only", apply that and see if the debugger now works. That's what fixed it for me.
