title: Android Studio not working after update 1.3.0
body: <p>I've been running Android Studio on Windows 7 since January and haven't performed an update until today. I started having a problem last week in which AS caused my computer to crash every time I tried to run my application, so I decided to finally stop ignoring the popup which told me updates were available. After downloading and running the file from the Android site, I'm seeing a plethora of error messages along the lines of: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Unable to save settings. Failed to save settings. Please restart Android Studio</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot load settings from file ' (several different files have been listed) ': content truncated File content will be recreated"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Plugin Error
    Problems found loading plugins: Plugin "Android Support" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled. Plugin "SDK Updater" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled. Plugin "Android NDK Support" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled. Plugin "Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled. Plugin "Google Cloud Testing" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled. Plugin "Google Services" was not loaded: required plugin "Gradle" is disabled.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>All of that might be ignored except for the fact that when opening my existing projects none of the files seem to load, meaning I can't do anything.</p>
  
  <p>So basically I'm worse off now than I was before.</p>
  
  <p>Restarting Android Studio multiple times has not resolved the problem. I also cleared the cache and tried removing the old .AndroidStudio file on the advice of another stackOverflow question, but to no avail. Can anyone help me out on this?</p>
