Got it to work go to the local properties file under your build gradle files to find out the PATH to your SDK  from the SDK location go into the platform-tools folder and look and see if you have adb exe  If not go to http   adbshell com downloads and download ADB KITS  Copy the zip folder s contents into the platform-tools folder and re-make your project   I didn t need to update the PATH in the Extended Controls Settings section on the emulator  I left Use detected ADB location settings on  Hope this makes this faster for you

on your android studio at the top right corner beside the search icon you can find the SDK Manager  view android SDK location  this will show you your sdk path  navigate to file explorer on your system  and locate the file path  this should be found something like Windows  gt  c   Users johndoe AppData local android  you can now see the sdk   Mac  gt  Users johndoe Library Android sdk check the platform tools folder and see if you would see anything like adb exe  it should be missing probably because it was corrupted and your antivirus or windows defender has quarantined it  delete the platform tools folder go back to android studio and from where you left off navigate to sdk tools  this should be right under android sdk location  uncheck android sdk platform-tools and select ok   this will uninstall the platform tools from your ide  wait till it is done and then your gradle will sync  after sync is complete  go back and check the box of android sdk platform-tools  this will install a fresh one with new adb exe  wait till it is done and sync project and then you are good to go   I hope this saves someone some hours of pain
