Android Studio: ADB not responding error, and two instances of adb.exe are simultaneously running

Question

I am constantly getting the famous "ADB not responding. You can wait more,or kill“abd.exe” process manually and click 'Restart'" error, and when I run the Windows Task Manager to kill the process, I can see two instances of adb.exe running simultaneously.

I have Eclipse and Android Studio installed and both use the same SDK, if that matters.

Now when I kill both the instances of the adb.exe the process, and then restart adb by adb start-service from command prompt and get the message something like `deamon started successfully.

But then when I start Android Studio again, I face the same problem.

So any suggestions for me? Does two processes of adb.exe have something to do with this?

PS I am trying to use genymotion as the simulator, if that matters. And I am using Windows 7 64 bit.

As said by AAverin, take a look here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/26431991/2046423

You just need to change the adb settings (user android-sdk in place of genymotion)
