ADB device list is empty

Question

I have the latest version of Android Studio and an Android device.

I turned on the developer mode on my device and connected it to the laptop via USB. I did not receive an invitation asking me to enable USB debugging using this computer, and the list of my devices was empty when I started cmd adb devices .

I tried to make adb kill-server and then adb start-server , but the list of devices was still empty and I still did not have permission to debug usb on my phone.

I tried to restart the phone + PC + change the USB cable, but nothing.

This helped me in the end:

Quick Guide:

Download Google USB Driver

Connect your Android debugging device to your computer

Open Windows Device Manager in the System Properties window.

Your device should appear in the “Other devices” section, like something like “Android ADB Interface” or “Android Phone” or similar. Right-click on it and click on "Update Driver Software ..."

Select "Browse My Computer for Driver Search"

Select "Let me choose from the list of device drivers on my computer"

Double-click Show All Devices

Click "Install from disk"

Locate and go to [wherever your SDK is installed] \ google-usb_driver and select android_winusb.inf

Select "Android ADB Interface" from the list of device types.

Click Yes

Click Install

Click Close

You have now configured the ADB driver correctly. Reconnect your device if it does not recognize it already.
