My Anaconda stopped working all of a sudden
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=3.7There 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 6 install jupyter_server may help
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_server
