Genymotion Emulator cannot be found to run apps!

So I have been using Genymotion emulators with no real problem but now when I try to run my app in the usual way it says that the ADB is not responding. I found that if I kill the process then I can run the app. However when I do this it will not find my emulator under the "Choose a running device" option. I cannot test apps like this so help soon would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hey Zachary!

What OS are you running? Is it Windows 10?

Thanks Zachary.

Could you please try resetting the ADB? To do this, Click on the Android Device Manager icon next to the SDK Manager in Android Studio (It is just an Android Icon).

Then, wait for the manager to start up (It might start up behind Android Studio so, check your taskbar!).

After that, click on the arrow on the Devices sidebar and then press Reset adb.

Then, wait for the adb to reset and try again!:

Let me know if this fixes the issue or not! :)

Sorry about the late reply, I was on holiday. This did not work, if it means anything there were no devices in the column. :(

Hey again Zachary!

Can you please try uninstalling Genymotion and Virtualbox, restarting your computer and reinstalling them from the Genymotion site - your emulated devices will still be kept on the system.

Let me know how it goes :)
