My Anaconda stopped working all of a sudden

Writer Andrew Henderson

My Anaconda stopped working after I installed some packages for statistics (not entirely sure if it is related), I cannot open Jupyter Notebook or Spyder, I can only open Anaconda navigator from the Anaconda command prompt and once there, if I try to run Jupyter or Spyder I get this error message:

`Traceback (most recent call last):

`

I tried uninstalling Python and installing it again, I tried also uninstalling Anaconda and installing it again but nothing seems to work.

I also tried updating Anaconda and writing the command 'Activate Root' and then 'conda update' as I saw in other solutions in stack overflow but nothing seems to work.

I´m using Windows in case this is relevant.

try to reinstall the jupyter_server module since it is the one that is giving you an error. (I do not know if you are working on the base.)

or try to create a virtual environment and run it without anything else (the version of python you have)

conda create --name envexample python=3.7
There you will know if the base environment is corrupted and not the instances themselves.

or do you have another option to reinstall everything

conda update --all --no-pin --no-channel-priority

install jupyter_server may help

conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_server
