Adb windows 8 64bit - eclipse does not see the device?

Question

Android

Unfortunately, I bought and installed Windows 8 Pro 64 on my computer and now there was a problem connecting the device. The story is about Samsung, but I think it will be similar with other vendors. I installed all the necessary tools for development, installed Samsung kies - connected a device via usb - it does not see it. I installed the driver through the kays - the result is similar. It was embarrassing that usually win 7, for example, installed device drivers and then everything is fine, the device can be seen from Eclipse. Now this was not the case.
I heard that this is due to the fact that there is a setting for refusing to install a device with an unsigned driver, but so far I have not found where to turn off this shnyag.
Maybe, well, maybe, someone, well, please :) faced a similar problem and knows its solution?
The second question has also been outlined: avd does not start (apparently because of C: / Users / Russian letters) - remind me how to solve this in one. I remember once moving avd and pointing the way.

Answer 1

Try this program (everyone uses it at work - it detects all devices correctly).

Answer 2

My eclipse is also not so weird on Windows 8 (x64).
On Windows 7 everything was fine. One evening I installed Windows 8 Enterprise x64. At that time I was engaged in the development of a library for android. It was late at night, think, import all projects into eclipse and go to sleep. All but the libraries (mine and actionbarsherlock) have died. It was unbearable to think, so he went to bed. In the morning I started to sort it out and saw with horror that all the files of my library were in place, but their size was 0 Kb. I didn't use CVS for this project because it changed very often. Kudos to Dropbox, as the project was located there. I got into the web interface and saw that yes, "someone" changed the files at half past one in the night and they are all 0 KB now. It would be possible to manually restore them all to the previous version (but there were > 250), but it turned out that Dropbox keeps a cache of all changes over the past few days in a hidden folder and you can roll back everything with a python script. So I restored everything. Then I did the import-restore twice more and made sure that it was eclipse that was weird. More than a foot there, switched to Intelliji Idea.
