I'm using Google Nexus 7 to debug an applications. but now it is prompting the error message below and and popup is coming stating that the USB device is not recognized. But it was working properly a few days back.
I have not made any updates on the device or the Android SDK.
adb stopped:

USB device not recognized:

What's wrong?
Sometimes the adb executable,is executed several times causing this error, check on your Task Manager (not sure how it's named).
Kill all of them, and restart the adb by taping this command "adb devices" on any windows shell (cmd.exe or powershell).
Hope it'll help you :)
