adb.exe spawning many process instances : <p>I'm new to developing for Android and have been tasked with helping the development of some React Native based Android application. I have a working setup in which an emulated Android device can run this application. However, when starting the emulator, the process <code>adb.exe</code> repeatedly gets spawned in the background at a rate of about 1 process per second. These processes seemingly take no/very little memory (144K according to the Task Manager), but over time, this still adds up to a massive list of processes (nearing 3000 at the time of writing) taking up quite a bit of memory (which is already scarce thanks to a fairly heavy development toolchain).</p>

<p>Closing the emulator does not automatically terminate these processes. The only way I have found so far that works is by using <code>taskkill /IM /F</code>.</p>

<p>Is this expected behaviour? If not, how could I begin with tracking down the reasons for behaviour.</p>
