The solution that worked for me -

I closed my Android Studio.

I visited this site - https://androidstudio.io/downloads/tools/download-the-latest-version-of-adb.exe.html

From there I downloaded the latest adb.zip file

I unzipped the folder and copied the 3 files -

adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll

I went to the folder - C:\Users\PayelSenapati\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools

There I replaced the old files by the new files. (Paste followed by replace the existing files)

Then I reopened my Android Studio, opened my virtual android device. Everything went fine. The error was no more.

I faced the same issue  and I tried following things  which didn t work   Deleting the existing AVD and creating a new one   Uninstall latest-existing and older versions  if you have  of SDK-Tools and SDK-Build-Tools and installing new ones    What worked for me was uninstalling and re-installing latest PLATFORM-TOOLS  where adb actually resides

Try factory reset to virtual device from Android Device Manager

First you need to check which SDK your Emulator is using and as  kuya suggested you need to follow those steps and install the latest version of that SDK Build Tool  Suppose your Emulator uses SDK 27 then you need to install latest in that series  For me it was 27 0 3  After that the error was gone

Had the same issue but in my case the fix was slightly different  as no updates were showing for the Android SDK Tools  I opened the Virtual Device Manager and realised my emulator was running API 27  Checked back in the SDK Manager and I didn t have API 27 SDK Tools installed at all  Installing v 27 resolved the issue for me

None of the top-voted answers worked for me  except when I unchecked  Use detected ADB location  as mentioned above by       Fortunately  in my case though  the message didn t show up  even when I turned it back on  In other words  the problem might be resolved by restarting  Use detected ADB location

This is an years old bug  Check your adb version like this    the adb path is given with the error itself  C  Users  lt your user name  gt  AppData Local Android Sdk platform-tools adb exe --version  output    Android Debug Bridge version 1 0 41 Version 29 0 4-5871666 Installed as C  Users sunil AppData Local Android Sdk platform-tools adb exe  It means this adb comes from the latest sdk platform tools 29 0 4  Check the latest version from official site here  If you already have the latest version of ADB installed  and still getting the error  this is a known issue  Google hasn t yet provided any other ADB  Click on the  quot never show again quot  option and continue

In the SDK Manager  in the SDK Tools tab  check if you have any updates  if not  deselect  quot Hide Obsolete Packages quot  and check if you have something marked as  obsolete  if so  deselect the item and apply  In my case  it was the Android SDK Tools

For me  update SDK doesn t help   I solve this problem by unchecking the emulator option  Use detected ADB location   Give it a try

In my case what removed this message was  After updating everything  deleting the emulator and creating a new one  Manually updating the adb didn t solved this for  Nor updating via the Android studio Gui  In my case it seems that since the emulator was created with  old  components it keep showing the message  I had three emulators  just deleted them all and created a new one  For my surprise when it started the message was no more   Cannot tell if performance is better or not  The message just didn t came up  Also I have everything updated to the latest  emulators and sdk
