Unable to run adb.exe from platform-tools folder path

Question

Setup

• android studio version 3.3.2
• JRE:1.8.0-152-release-1248-b01-amd64
• build tool version is 28.0.2

I am unable to start

Answer 1

This is showing error because Android ADB had an update for the revision 28.0.2 (March 2019), after this release ADB needs windows to have this update (KB2999226) for running. This will be occurring to systems that disabled automatic windows update. For me, it was on Windows 8.1 pro 64. I have spent my 2 days on this following different solutions on the internet that vary from DLL files to .net, visual c++, and DirectX, none of them helped. Please do this update as this is needed for the newer ADB to work properly.

Android revision change having notification about this
