Can’t run any ipynb files using Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook (FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified)

I have JupyterLab/JupyterNotebook running on Win10, along with Python and PyCharm on the side on Windows 10. Whenever I launch JupyterLab/JupyterNotebook I get the error stated below. I have tried reinstalling the Anaconda-distribution or any other instances of Python but it gives me the same error every time I launch JupyterLab/Notebook. I have also tried running it on a remote server with Win 7 but it gives me the exact same error. Part of me thinks that I made the same mistake while installing Anaconda, Python, and PyCharm and now I can’t revert it back. Any suggestions?

Answer

It seemed it had something to do with nb_conda. Once I reinstalled nb_conda using the command below, it worked for me.

conda install nb_conda
