first open bluestacks and go to settings > preferences > check the Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and press Change path button, then select adb path. (default location: %LocalAppData%\Android\sdk\platform-tools)

then install one apk in emulator (by click the installed apps > install apk in bluestacks home screen)

after doing this works run cmd by administrator and got to adb path then run this command:

adb connect localhost:5555

now you can open VSCodde or AndroidStudio and select BlueStacks emulator.

For those people with  cannot connect to localhost 5555  No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it   10061     Blustacks is listening at IPv4-Localhost-TCP-5555  not IPv6   Most of the time Windows has IPv6 enabled by default and Localhost is solving   1    If the client  ADB  tries to connect a server using localhost and IPv6 is enabled on the main network adapter  ADB will not connect to the server   So  you have two options    1- Change your ADB client TCP connection string to localhost IPV4   adb connect 127 0 0 1  OR    2-Disable IPV6 protocol from the main network adapter
