'adb devices' showing dummy device

Same problem for me but I don't see any Bluestacks service in my services list. after adb devices shows emulators I didn't have, I usually just type the command

adb kill-server 

and running the

adb devices 

once more shows only the devices that are connected.


I had the same issue. I did this and now everything is ok

  1. click Windows+R
  2. type services.msc
  3. stop BlueStacks Android Service

I have figured out the issue. I had installed Bluestacks for Mac for trying out Android apps on Mac. This was running an emulator with a different name.

Figured it out by taking a screenshot of the emulator and it showed the launch screen of Bluestacks. Uninstalled Bluestacks and all is well now.
