Where Is Adb.Exe in Windows 10 Located

Where is adb.exe in windows 10 located?

It is located in the AppData hidden folder

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

From l33t's comment below you may use the following shortcut:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk\platform-tools

To use it in PowerShell you can do: $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Android\sdk\platform-tools

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Set the path of adb into System Variables. You can find adb in "ADT Bundle/sdk/platform-tools" Set the path and restart the cmd n then try again.

Or

You can also goto the dir where adb.exe is located and do the same thing if you don't wanna set the PATH.

If you wanna see all the paths, just do

echo %PATH%

bash: adb: command not found in Windows 10

In order to use it from anywhere, you must add the folder in which adb is located to your PATH environment variable.

Otherwise without adding that, you can go to that folder on terminal ( cd /c/adb/platform-tools/adb.exe ) and use it from there.

android studio platform-tools missing adb.exe

The problem is solved. The issue I have is I upgraded the SDK platform-tools to 25.0.6. But My SDK Build-Tools is 25.0.3. (25.0.6 is not yet provided) I guess the version did not match which cause this problem.

I downgrade my SDK platform-tools to 25.0.3 and it is working as usual.

adb.exe not found after installing Android Studio

The adb.exe file will be located at your Android SDK folder, inside platform-tools

...\android-sdk-path\platform-tools\adb.exe

The default location where Android SDK is installed is:

C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\

So adb will be located at:

C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe

---

To access it on a command line, open cmd.exe and type:

cd C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\

and then your normal command

adb <insert parameters here>

Error:Unable to locate adb within SDK in Android Studio

The ADB is now located in the Android SDK platform-tools.

1. Check your [sdk directory]/platform-tools directory and if it does not exist, then open the SDK manager in the Android Studio (a button somewhere in the top menu, android logo with a down arrow), switch to SDK tools tab and and select/install the Android SDK Platform-tools.

2. Alternatively, you can try the standalone SDK Manager: Open the SDK manager and you should see a "Launch Standalone SDK manager" link somewhere at the bottom of the settings window. Click and open the standalone SDK manager, then install/update the

"Tools > Android SDK platform tools".

3. If the above does not solve the problem, try reinstalling the tools: open the "Standalone SDK manager" and uninstall the Android SDK platform-tools, delete the [your sdk directory]/platform-tools directory completely and install it again using the SDK manager.

4. Check your antivirus chest. Sometimes the Antivirus program thinks adb.exe is a virus. If you find it there please restore the file and it will start working. You can also put adb.exe as a safe file in you Antivirus program.

Hope this helps!

How to terminate adb.exe on windows? What keeps restarting it?

It may help you if you look at process explorer. It resolves process trees and may lead you to the starting process.

However, if I start the adb server through a command promt, it shows adb.exe as subprocess of cmd.exe only for some seconds and then gets handed up as independend process. You might want to have the process explorer open and monitor the restarting procedure of adb.exe.
