Answer 1

I was just having similar issues, there was a duplicate environment variable.

System variables > Path > C:UsersmeAppDataLocalAndroidSdkplatform-tools

and

System variables > Path > C:Android

Deleting the latter solved the issue. I entered the first path manually, the latter was input during an Android Studio installation.
