Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Shit+CTRL+P Python: Create New Blank Jupyter Notebook (or anything that requires a kernel start).

Actual behavior

The following error message is out put:

Error: Activating Python 3.6.7 64-bit ('base': conda) to run Jupyter failed with Error: StdErr from ShellExec, ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. The system cannot find the batch label specified - End ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. The system cannot find the batch label specified - End . at A.checkUsable ({USER PATH}\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.2.62710\out\client\extension.js:1:789593)

Expected behavior

A kernel starts up and I am good to go.
