In my case, I had %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\platform-tools in my System Path with no luck.

I moved it to my User Path and it worked perfectly.

P.S. I personally use https://rix0rrr.github.io/WindowsPathEditor/, very straight forward and clean.

First add your Android SDK path like "C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" to your OS path

Second use this command to restart adb:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Try this

First chage your current directory to platform-tools

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Then install your apk on emulator

adb install "<Path to your apk file>"

for example

adb install "c:\Apps\abc.apk"

Try changing it to

From

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools

To

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

If doesn't work then you mught need to restart you system too.
