ADB devices not found on after following "boot camp" on wsl windows 10

[tom]

@rdjarvis Our resident WSL expert says to do the following:

In normal windows command prompt (outside of WSDL)

adb kill-server

adb start-server

then check in WSL

[rdjarvis]

@tom Ill try that right now!

[rdjarvis]

@tom this is what windows command prompt tells me when running "adb kill-server"
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

@rdjarvis I was under the impression that "VOXL is visible when running ADB Driver 2.0 on the PC" meant you were able to access adb on your normal command prompt

@tom sorry for the confusion. Here is a screenshot.

@rdjarvis I'm not familiar with that tool unfortunately, I would follow the instructions here starting with the section titled "How to set up ADB on Microsoft Windows" with the Android SDK installed from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

@tom thank you, I will get started

Hi @rdjarvis ,
Once you have adb tools installed on your PC, I've successfully used WSL as Tom mentioned only after trying the kill and restart commands in command window/prompt. Sometimes it may take a few tries in the command prompt, but once I get Windows command prompt to see the adb device, WSL always sees it.
I cannot speak to other utilities, but command prompt always works for me.
I tried the reverse and it doesn't work, so I think some configurations require Windows to see the adb device first before it let's WSL see it.
Hope that helps.

@Vinny thanks, just got into the office and will start over. I wasnt successful with the ADB platform tools.....yet

UPDATE
ADB Devices are now visible in Windows CMD after I updated the system path in environment variables.

Now the fun begins
