title: ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" ... windows 8
body: <p>When I try to test my Android application with an android emulator as always I now suddenly get an error message. I'm working with Windows 8. So far I tried the following things which unfortunately could not solve the problem:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>reinstalling eclipse with android adt</li>
  <li>reinstalling java</li>
  <li>installing "android studios" first solved the problem but after one day mysteriously also here adb, stopped working with the error message given in the title " ADB not responding ...</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>furthermore I unsuccessfully tried out some advice from Mr. Google:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Stopping adb.exe via task-manager and restarting eclipse / android studios</li>
  <li>"adb kill-server" then "start-server" via command prompt</li>
  <li>setting the path to adb.exe as an environment variable</li>
  <li>switching off any antivirus or firewall</li>
  <li>starting the IDEs as an administrator</li>
  <li>updating the IDEs</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The only thing I can remember doing which may have destroyed adb on my computer for all times: I connected my motorola smartphone to my laptop and installed the motorola usb drivers but as I said the adb also won't work with the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be kindly appreciated. The issue bothers me for more than an entire day now. Maybe someone had similar problems on Windows 8 ?</p>
