Use a Drivers
I've found a way to get ADB working on Windows 8.1. The trick is to use Intel's ADB drivers instead of Google's. We're going to need to manually extract the drivers from the installer because it doesn't recognize Windows 8.1 (ironic).
Bonus: This method of install ADB drivers doesn't require you to reboot without driver signature enforcement (because Intel signs their drivers like a good company should).
1) Download Intel's USB drivers from Intel's website (or my attachment). I don't have enough posts on XDA to be able to post the link but searching "intel usb driver for android devices" on Google has the correct webpage as the first result.
2) Download 7-zip to extract the drivers (if you don't already have it installed)
3) Right-click on the setup exe inside the zip file from Intel's webside and choose "Extract here" in the 7-zip menu. You'll probably get a warning about copying over files etc. just click yes to all.
4) Now open Device Manager and find the "USB Composite Device" that corresponds to the Android device. It may help to enter the "Devices by Connection" view (in the View menu). You'll want to keep expanding the device tree until you find the "USB Composite Device" that is the parent of your ADB device (and possibly the MTP device too). When you find that, right-click and "Update driver software". Click "Browse my computer for driver software" and click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Click the "Have Disk" button and browse to the directory that you extracted the drivers in step 3 then select "android_winusb.inf". You should see a single entry that says "Linux device with multiple configurations". Select that entry and click next.
5) After that installs, you should still see the exclamation mark by your ADB device (or you should see the ADB device with a non-working driver). Now you want to do the same steps as in step 4 except this time you should see 3 options when you select the inf. Click on the "Android ADB Interface" option and hit next.
6) You may need to reboot for ADB to pick up the device (or restart the ADB server)
Hopefully, this works for you guys. I did it successfully with my Ouya and Nexus 7.

that's no usb drivers it is fastboot driver 1st goto trun off your phone and goto fastboot mode then show your device manager fastboot icon then install drives...i hope install your drivers:good:
Neither intel or any other driver works for me. It Installs it, sure, but Device enumeration still fails.
Running Windows 8.1 if that has any baring on the issue.

The same for me, it was only working with my USB3 slot and also with windows booted without driver signature check.
I'm having this problem as well. When USB Debugging is turned on adb will recognize my device in Camera (PTP) mode but it will not recognize it when it is plugged in as a Media device (MTP). Unfortunately I do not have any USB 3.0 ports on my machine. This has become very frustrating because I can't retrieve files off of my phone or test my android app anymore :crying: time to use the emulator in the mean time T_T
EDIT: If I put the files I want to transfer into the DCIM folder on my phone they will show up on the computer after I reboot the phone while Camera (PTP) file transfer mode is selected.

Same here, usb2/3 ports don't work for fatboot with windows 8.1 preview, I tried both xperia and htc,

Unfortunately I do not have any USB 3.0 ports on my machine.

Yes! Obviously a windows and android developer must have the latest updates.

3Solution:
- Download drivers uploaded here and unzip
- Go to metro screen and search for "change advanced startup options". Select "Restart Now" on the following screen.
- Your machine is restarting now. Choose:
- Advanced Startup
- Troubleshoot
- Advanced Options
- Startup Settings
- Press 7 to select option 7
- Choose update driver and select the directory u unzipped earlier.
- You will be asked if you want to allow to install an unsigned driver. Accept this.
- ADB should work now.
Have fun
2I guess not, but Windows 8.1 RTM is just around the corner... (assuming that the problem is fixed in the RTM)
I've just installed Windows 8.1 RTM and I can say the issue is still here, no fastboot or adb!
Screw Micro****!2Windows 8.1 ADB working
Anyone want to try this and let me know if it helps?
