@shayandavoodii = Does that same conda environment work when you try to use it for a notebook (command jupyter: create notebook)? The only package I know of that we need is IPykernel which should get installed when it is first launched, so you could try re-installing that package if it doesn’t work in a notebook either.

Hi, No, it wasn’t working for a couple of days. I found out that the problem was rising where my conda environment got corrupted. So, Firstly I removed the ipython package using conda remove ipython in the activated environment. Secondly, I installed the ipython and ipykernel using conda install -c conda-forge <PKG_NAME>. Now the interactive window is working on the environment. Thanks. I’ll close this issue.
