adb.exe wont start from intelliJ

I have the latests intelliJ ultimate installed.

I managed to install android sdk and was working fine with the emulator.

For various reasons I had to restart my PC. Now when I start intelliJ I get the following error message

ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" process manually and click 'Restart'
Errors from ADB:
adb: Unexpected exception 'Cannot run program "C:\Programs\Android \SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe": CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied' while attempting to get adb version from 'C:\Programs\Android\SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe'

Ive tried * deleting my .android folder in c:/users/{username} * restarting my pc and intelliJ again * turning off my firewall

I can seem to start it if I do

adb.exe start-server

Although if i do this and then start intelliJ then intelliJ says it cannot communicate with adb.exe and asks if I want to

Any ideas? Im really frustrated because I was really loving the android development but now are stuck at the first hurdle again

Thanks

adb runs on port 5037, and you can use cmd (Command Prompt) to do the following:

C:\>netstat -aon|findstr "5037"
TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2048
TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 127.0.0.1:49435 ESTABLISHED 2048
TCP 127.0.0.1:49435 127.0.0.1:5037 ESTABLISHED 6472

To kill the process,

taskkill /pid 2048 /f

Other method to kill the process:

  1. Using the PID

    Format: ntsd -c q -p pid

    Example: ntsd -c q -p 1332 (Ends explorer.exe)

  2. Using the process name

    Format: ntsd -c q -pn ***.exe (***.exe is the name of the process)

    Example: ntsd -c q -pn explorer.exe

I managed to fix this by removed the .intelliJ directory in c:\users\{username} and then starting intelliJ again.

This can be a bit time consuming so now I do the following steps

  • open IntelliJ and set up all my config
  • take a backup of .intelliJ directory
  • code away :)
  • if/when I get this error again I then delete my c:\users....intelliJ directory and copy the backup over

I can lose some config but not everything that I might have set up (eg sdks setups etc)
