Visual Studio Emulator for Android is frequently detached from ADB

Visual Studio Emulator for Android works great with Android Studio. There is only one problem I am experiencing now: It is detached from ADB frequently. I can start the emulator and load an app to run without any problem. However, after a while, it is detached without any warning. Android Studio and Android Device Monitor do not see the emulator anymore while they can always see a physical device connected to the dev machine without any problem, so I assume ADB works fine. Restarting the emulator will restore the attachment, but it will detach again after a while. Resetting ADP does not help.

I've been having the exact same problem. It's not a fix, but a workaround; you can manually reconnect ADB to the emulator using command line:

adb connect <ip>:5555

(from Prem's answer on a similar question)

You can find the value for < ip > if you look in the ADB logs. You'll probably see something similar to

ExecutionException getting info for device 123.456.123.456:5555

Or you can open the 'Additional Tools' of the emulator and see the Network Addresses.

Visual Studio Emulator for Android is a running Hyper-V virtual machine, which was connected to your host computer using an imaginary cable.

Since it's an actual machine, it's normal to see it as a physical device.
