How to Install ADB Driver for Windows?

In general, to install the ADB on your computer, you must take the following steps:

1. Check whether the ADB driver on your PC is already installed.

2. Get the ADB driver file.

3. Activate USB Debugging on your Android device.

4. Open Device Manager and install the ADB driver.

The instructions below you will see in detail. Make sure you follow them carefully so that you can properly set up the ADB.

First Step: Check Whether You Already Have the ADB Driver Installed on your PC

You first need to check if the ADB driver is already installed on your computer. Just run a Chrome test to see whether your PC can recognize and communicate with your Android device. To do so, follow the following steps:

• To connect your Android device to the computer, use a USB cable.

• Open Google Chrome.

• Inside the URL bar, type “chrome://inspect” (no quotes), then press Enter.

If the test fails, you do not already have the ADB driver on your PC. If the name of your Android device can be seen, on the other hand, it means you have the ADB driver already on your computer.

Second Step: Get the ADB Driver File

You must first get the installation file before you add the ADB driver to your PC. The ADB driver file is typically supplied by your Android device manufacturer. Download the installation file from the official website.

Third Step: Activate USB Debugging on your Android Device

You need to enable USB Debugging on your Android device once you have downloaded the ADB driver file. When USB debugging is activated, you can only use the full potential of the ADB. The following steps:

Note: By default, the USB Debugging option is hidden for Android 4.2 and newer versions.

• Go to Settings on your Android device.

• Then find and tap About Phone or About.

• Tap seven times on Build number and Enable the Developer options Remember to set the toggle at the top to On.

• Enable USB Debugging.

• Connect your Android device into your computer. On your Android device, you will see a message saying, “Allow USB Debugging?” Select the box beside the ‘Always allow from this computer’ option, then tap OK.

Fourth Step: Open Device Manager and Install the ADB Driver

To install the ADB driver, you can open the Device Manager. We will use Google Nexus 7 in this article because the steps on all other Android devices are similar. Follow the instructions below once you are ready:

• Connect your Android device into your computer.

• Open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows Key+R on your keyboard.

• Type “devmgmt.msc” (no quotes), then hit Enter. This should bring up the Device Manager.

• Search for your Android device.

• Right-click it, then select Properties from the options. You will see a yellow warning icon next to your Android device unless your driver hasn't been properly installed.

• Go to the Driver tab, then click Update Driver.

• A new window will pop up. Select the ‘Browse my computer for driver software’ option.

• Search you previously downloaded ADB driver file by clicking Browse.

• Select the Include subfolders box next to it, then click Next. Device Manager installs an ADB driver automatically.

More about Android Debug Bridge

 ADB enables you to do stuff on an Android device which may not be suitable for daily use but can be very useful for your users or developers. You can, for example, install apps outside the Play Store, debug apps, access hidden functions, and create a Unix shell so that you can directly issue controls to your device. Therefore, Developer Options must be disabled for security reasons and also the USB debugging mode must be activated. You must not just permit USB debugging access to the specific PC that you have a USB cable connected to.
