adb.exe not responding.kill manually

Question

I have just installed android studio. It is giving me the following error "adb.exe not working" . I tried to manually kill it but I was not able to do it, because it didn't show me in the task manager

Answer 1

Click on Wait more And wait for a moment. It will start.

And if you want to kill the process, look under the background processes in Task manager. It should be there.

Answer 2

adb is a process . So as @Nivedita mentioned, you won't it in Applications or Apps , but Processes or Background processes .

I have encountered this problem very often, especially while I was working with ADT-Bundle in Eclipse. If you are going to do it often, I suggest you to have adb in the PATH variable, that way you could execute commands via Command Prompt .

To kill ADB : adb kill-server
To start ADB : adb start-server
