Android Studio update -Error:Could not run build action using Gradle distribution

I had same issue. I have tried many things but nothing worked Until I try following:

  1. Close Android Studio
  2. Delete any directory matching gradle-[version]-all within C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\wrapper\dists\. If you encounter a “File in use” error (or similar), terminate any running Java executables.
  3. Open Android Studio as Administrator.
  4. Try to sync project files.
  5. If the above does not work, try restarting your computer and/or delete the project’s .gradle directory.
  6. Open the problem project and trigger a Gradle sync.
