USB-boot Non-Install android-x86-9.0-r2.iso Infinite Loop 'Copy apps & data' and Google Play Services

[Madeirio]

Attempting to boot Android Pie on an ASUS Q200e laptop. Boot sequence stalls on 'Copy apps & data' feature. Selected 'Don't Copy' to bypass, boot proceeds to Google Play Services, whereby Google Play Services stops and sends me back to 'Copy apps & data'.

Thought I encountered a legacy hardware issue, so android-x86-9.0-rc1.iso (32 bit version) was used and this Live version ended with exactly the same result.

Have tried opening 'Apps Info' in Google Play Services for bypassing, but am unable to 'Disable' or 'Force Stop' it. Upon selecting the 'Close App' option for Google Play I'm sent back to 'Copy apps & data'.

Even accepted the 'Next' option for 'Copy apps & data', but my legacy laptops do not have Bluetooth native hardware nor do I possess a BT-USB dongle.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Side-bar: Got the 64 bit ISO to work on an older (still) laptop, Compaq Presario CQ56, but the bottom portion of Android's opening window typically reserved for the triangle (back), circle (home) and square (open apps) flickers intermittently leaving those crucial functions inaccessible. I will post this as a separate issue (topic).

Having exactly the same issue with an ASUS TAM100.

Restart. In grub, select Advanced options, boot "without wizard". On the system bar on top of the screen, google services will update. Wait for the update to complete. (The selection for the Home App will stay unresponsive.) Reboot again. In grub, select the default menu entry, boot Android-x86-9.0-rc1 and you should have a usable system.
