For Windows follow the steps:

1-> Download manually https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/x86_64-26_r16.zip

2-> Browse to c:usersYourUserNameAppDataLocalAndroidSdksystem-imagesandroid-XXgoogle_apis
([android-XX] <-check your version /example: [android-26] in your case)

3-> Open x86_64-26_r16.zip (downloaded with step 1) and extract into “Step 2”.

4-> At the end of the extraction make sure you have a folder created called x86_64 inside the “Step 2”. If yes then Restart Android Studio (when starting will automatically recognize).

If not solved check the credit link.
