AVD Manager, Sdk Manager, missing , greyed out in Android Studio

Prob: Avd Manager or Sdk Manager is  greyed out or is missing from Tools Menu in android Studio.

Explanation:  This generally happens when Android Studio is not able identify the android sdk installation in the machine. This could happen if Android Studio is launched in non-Administrator mode.

Soln: Close and relaunch Android Studio in administrator mode. You will see a green notification on top right saying "android framework is identified" Click on the configure link on that notification. The AS will start configuring the android sdk . After some time the buttons would be enabled/visible.
