Unable to launch Azure Cosmos Emulator on my Windows 10 PC - azure

I am unable to get cosmos emulator started. I keep getting a “This site can’t be reached. Localhost refused to connect” message when it tries to navigate to https://localhost:8081/_explorer/index.html. Several seconds later, I get the below error message:
I'm using the latest version (2.4.5.0). I uninstalled Cosmos Emulator, deleted the %LOCALAPPDATA%\CosmosDBEmulator folder, and reinstalled. Still same issue.
Then, I tried running LODCTR /R in the command prompt twice, but that didn’t do anything for me. I’m out of ideas. This was working for me several months ago, so something happened recently that caused it to stop working. What could be causing this issue? Anything else I can try?

You can follow the steps mentioned here to troubleshoot your issue
If you installed a new version of the emulator and are experiencing errors, ensure you reset your data. You can reset your data by right-clicking the Azure Cosmos Emulator icon on the system tray, and then clicking Reset Data…. If that does not fix the errors, you can uninstall the emulator and any older versions of the emulator if found, remove "C:\Program files\Azure Cosmos DB Emulator" directory and reinstall the emulator

Errors when launching Cosmos DB Emulator

I tried to launch Cosmos DB Emulator, but I get these 3 errors:
DocumentDb Master has stopped working
DocumentDb.GatewayService.exe has stopped working
DocumentDb Server has stopped working
You can download emulator from Microsoft Download Center.Extract setup and run emulator exe.
Once you completed the setup, type Azure Cosmos DB Emulator in Start menu. Run it as administrator
If you are stuck at any point read Here
I think it was the problem about GatewayServiceStartup process.
To solve this, we can try to run the elevated command:
C:\windows\SysWOW64> lodctr /r
This problem is most often caused by incompatibility with local SQL server.
The familiar issue as yours: documentdb emulator gatewayservice crashing on startup
In addition, we can refer to the troubleshooting Chapter from this article for more information.
Hope it is helpful to you.
I had similar problem and gave up. Accidentally I found the solution after (AzureStorageEmulator 5.1 doesn't to start):
seems, I found the reason - the net access for local machine was closed somehow:( I have ran the command
netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1

DocumentDB Emulator browser issues

I'm running Windows 10 - 1703 build 15063.296 - using Edge with Azure Cosmos DB Emulator, the UI tabs on the quick start page don't work? is anyone having the same issue? BTW, the Azure portal works fine.
using Edge with Azure Cosmos DB Emulator, the UI tabs on the quick start page don't work?
If you mean that you could not choose other platforms except .NET in Quickstart page, you could try to uninstall and reinstall the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator, the issue seems fixed now.
I think the issue is that data explorer files got corrupted/non-functional.
After making sure you have the latest version of the emulator installed, follow these steps:
Exit the emulator
Delete all files under C:\Program Files\Azure Cosmos DB Emulator\Packages\DataExplorer\ (not the folder itself - just the files)
Open emulator
I hope this works for you! :)

Unable to create Debug Bridge: Unable to start adb server: Unable to obtain result of 'adb version'

I am running Android Studio on Windows 10 64 bit. I upgraded to the latest build and SDK the morning of 5/20, and since then I get the above error when opening Android Studio. I also get the 'Unable to obtain result of 'adb version' in the event log. If I launch the application (which worked fine before the update) the 'Select Deployment Target' window appears, showing 'Initializing ADB' with a loading graphic for a few seconds, which then results in a 'Nothing to show' message. Previously I had 4 different emulators set up, and an active device connect via USB. Now ... nothing.
Creating a new emulator has no effect - I go through the steps and still see the 'Nothing to show' message.
I have tried the following:
Reverting to older platform tools
Removing and re-installing the latest platform tools
Removing and re-installing Android Studio completely
Installed Genymotion to try emulate through that (I can create and start the emulator in Genymotion, it makes no different to the above issue in AS)
killed adb.exe through Task Manager, then ran adb tcpip 5555 through the terminal, the output was:
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
daemon started successfully *
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
Which was encouraging, but the same issue described above persists (even after a restart of AS).
Switch to USB mode and back to TCPIP through adb in the terminal, no luck.
Migrated the entire project to Eclipse until I ran into support issues with Google Play Services (so I'm going to have to stick to AS, but I am getting desperate here)
Anyone that can assist - I would greatly appreciate it.
UPDATE - 5/23
I did a search for adb.log and found it in a temp folder on a completely different drive to the one that contains AS or my project files. Closed everything down, killed adb.exe through the task manager and deleted the file. Upon relaunching AS I received the following message:

I could start/kill ADB through the terminal. adb devices resulted in an empty list. My idea.log file is filled with entries as from the date my trouble started. Restarting AS again resulted in the usual 'Unable to create Debug Bridge: Unable to start adb server: Unable to obtain result of 'adb version'' message.
Here is the last entry in my idea.log file:

The really weird part is that I actually managed to get something working yesterday - but I don't know how. I started AS and received the same error, but then started Eclipse (Mars 2) and launched the Android Device Manager through Eclipse. As soon as I did I could launch my app through the AS emulator! I closed it all down and tried again, just to be sure and it worked again.
This morning I tried the same trick, but was told my SDK is missing. I checked and platform-tools was indeed missing (not sure why). So I installed it again, got the usual error, and now my trick with Eclipse is no longer working. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone here.
The solution is very simple. Open 'Command Prompt' as 'Administrator', run adb kill-server, then adb start-server. It worked for me.
I probably should have done this as part of my initial troubleshooting, but I ended up disabling Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (Trend Micro). The firewall did nothing, but disabling Trend Micro completely solved the issue....
Somehow, for some reason, Trend Micro decided to start not liking the daemon being created by ADB. 4 days of tears and frustration over such a small thing. Hopefully this helps someone else one day avoid it.
Geez, I can't it's the TrendMicro antivirus !! ... many Thanks !
This also works for me on my 64bit Win 10, took me a day to reinstall AS and ADK and trying to figure out why ... adb kill-server, then try disable/enable Antivirus and you'll see the difference.
For finer-grain of control, add the bin\studio64.exe of AS into the Exception List of Trendmicro Antivirus and it'll bring up adb just fine.
I got this fix by following this link:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/38447003/5521389
going into GenyMotion settings -> ADB tab,
instead of Use Genymotion Android tools (default), I chose Use custom Android SDK Tools and then browsed to my installed SDK.
From the information you've provided, I'm not sure that what I'm about to type applies to your situation. But since no one else has answered, you might want to consider it.
I had a very strange situation in which I kept getting the 'Nothing to show' message even though I had defined multiple emulated types of Android equipment, and also had a physical Android device.
I tried all sorts of things to solve the problem without success. Then I eventually tracked down an adb.log file that had been created in a directory outside any of the usual directory trees managed by the Android tools; a directory that is usually used for temporary storage. The access permissions on the file had somehow been changed so that one of the programs involved in debugging, could no longer access the file, and so failed to start properly. Removing the file solved the problem. The next time I attempted to begin debugging, everything worked as it should.
Although I was working with Linux, if the Android tools work in a similar manner with Microsoft Windows, the file might be in a directory tree identified by an environment variable, either TMP or TEMP.
Just update your platform tools from the SDK manager and restart your editor
In the Task Manager, delete adb.exe
In terminal, run command adb start-server

Visual Studio deployment error

"The application could not be launched for debugging. Please make sure the device is unlocked."
I am getting this error when I try to launch the app on my device for debugging.
I have tried the following:
Relaunch Visual Studio,
Reinstall Visual Studio,
Restart my computer,
I have selected both debug and release in the configuration window.
The problem is that its not getting launched even in the emulator. The emulator opens and never loads the app but gives the same error message. And I have tried to just open a new application on VS and tried to run the default application. That also gives the same problem.
Everything was working fine after I opened a few more projects for reference, It suddenly started giving this error message.
Make sure a Windows project is not set as startup(assuming you have both windoes project and phone project in the same solution). For example If your target platfrom is a Windows phone project WP7, then you cannot have a windows project as startup. This is a known reason for the error you mentioned.
Also what is the operating system you are working with? I know the error you mentioned reprorted on some OS's including Windows server 2003 and 2008. Try running your project in winsdows 7.
I suddenly got exactly the same issue today. I was coding like always and then I got this problem.
// P.S.
// Today I updated Windows from 8 to 8.1
// Then I installed VS 2013 preview
// But continued working in VS 2012 (I need R#)
// After ~ 5 hours of work I got this issue
I tried everything, deleted emulators from Hyper-V, deleted all virtual commutators, restarted VS 2012, restarted laptop, deleted Bin and obj folders from project, rebuilded project.
But nothing helped.
Then I tried to open solution in VS 2013 preview, and it works!!
I hope I help you with this answer.
If somebody know how to fix it in VS 2012, please tell us
I have a similar problem but I’m able to debug my app once I click OK on the error prompt following the “Launching TaskHost.exe failed.” message in the status bar. I haven’t been able to solve it but I’ve found a workaround that might also work for you.
Start the “Simulation Dashboard” under “Tools” and instead of starting the debugger the usual way build your project if needed and then try to start the debugger by clicking “Locked” under “Lock Screen” on the dashboard.
This answer worked for me.
Under the following:

I cannot create a Cloud Project after installing Azure SDK 2.0

I installed the new Azure SDK from the Web Platform Installer.
Now when I try File > New Project > Cloud > Windows Azure Cloud Service > OK
Then I get this error message:
Error: this template attempted to load component assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CloudService.Wizard, Version=1.0.0.0 ...
I have tried everything I can think of including uninstall of the 1.8 SDK, uninstall of the 2.0 SDK and reninstall. Always I get this message. I cannot see anything about this on the internet. My install gave no error messages.
Also noticed that now in Server Explorer I only have Data Connections, Servers, Windows Azure Service Bus and WIndows Azure Web Sites. There's nothing for storage.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong.
I've had the same problem with skd 2.0
Even trying repairing or installing missing features won't work.
After hours spent on repairing and reinstalling, the only solution I found was to uninstall BOTH Visual Studio and Azure sdk, and installing them again.
After the reinstallation it works fine, but I still have no clue why :P
I keep a development VM for each SDK that comes out. When I upgrade older projects to newer SDKs there are bugs, sometimes bugs without workarounds. I've learned the hard way that installing a new SDK is dangerous.
If you can, develop inside a VM and take occasional snapshots. Otherwise, you do end up reinstalling Visual Studio and installing the original SDK that you first created you project with. -Richard
I've seen this issue on multiple machines after upgrading to 2.7, 2.8, and/or 2.9. Reinstalling VS, VS Updates, and/or SDKs would sometimes help, but sometimes not. The last time no combination of installs worked.
I finally ran Visual Studio with logging enabled via Devenv /log, and according to the %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version#}\ActivityLog.xml file, there was an error merging the configuration file located at %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version#}\devenv.exe.config I deleted that config file and restarted Visual Studio and the problem went away.
Uninstall Visual Studio using VisualStudioUninstaller did the trick for me.
Then I did a clean install of Visual Studio and Azure SDK, and everything worked just fine!
