Default What free Android emulator do YOU use on Windows for running F-Droid APKs?

/nIn news
(I will post the results of a RTFM in a followup but the question is not
what free emulators "exist" nor which are in the "top 10" lists - but which
free emulator *you* use that you like - and why).

The topic is:
What free Android emulator do *YOU* use on Windows for running F-Droid APKs?


This is just the result of a Google search, which shows, as always, that
there is no consensus as to what free emulator is best for running F-Droid
APKs such as New Pipe.

If nobody uses Android emulation on Windows, then this thread will be
(thankfully) short in that I will likely (almost blindly) choose one of the
emulators listed below.

A very quick skim seems to show Nox as a good starting point, where, as
always, the immense cost of freeware is in all the work finding the good
ones.
