Thanks to my PC needing to be reinstalled from scratch after running Bluestacks .exe to turn off Hyper-V (yes...really) I have successfully downgraded from Windows 11 to Windows 10...whether I wanted to or not. Well I can run a 32-bit of Nougat now, which is nice, but when I connect to the adb bridge I get the following message:
Unable to connect for backup: more than one device/emulator
Turns out the solution to my problem is that when, connecting to Bluestacks, I am simultaneously connecting to an emulator.
emulator-5554 device
localhost:5555 device
So my question now is how do I kick one device, but keep the other, because when I type in "adb disconnect emulator-5554," it says it's disconnected, but when I type in "adb devices" it's still connected. I am clearly way over my head on this one.
