Droid Explorer is unable to browse device I love the idea of being able to browse root directories on my laptop.

But I can't for the life of me get droid explore to work, I have a note 4 (rooted of course), I am running stock Sammy ROM, I have installed adbd insecure on my device and I can access root via adb, but I cannot do anything with this software.  I also have busybox installed to /xbin.

When I click connect device, my device does show up, but when I click on said device, the application grays out and i cannot click anything other than min/max or close. It is the same with a rooted Samsung nexus that i have, running CM11. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: i am running 64bit win 7 and I have tried reinstalling the software twice.

Without knowing the exact version of the SDK platform-tools you have installed (but I will assume the latest), I think the problem is with the Android SDK platform-tools. 

Droid Explorer uses a feature in ADB called 'status-window' to keep track of the connection state of the devices. In the latest version (rev. 23), they removed this feature. 

You can manually download an older version of the platform-tools and put them in your SDK directory:


Download rev. 21 of the platform-tools from platform-tools_r21-windows.zip
Rename the platform-tools directory in your SDK to platform-tools-23
Extract the zip file, downloaded previously, to the root of your SDK directory. It contains the platform-tools directory in the zip.


This will be corrected in the next version of Droid Explorer so it will again work with the latest SDK. I have been working on multiple ways to replace the functionality that was removed in the latest revision of the platform-tools. Once I am happy with how it functions and am confident that it is stable, I will release an update.
