@LizardBlizzard Thanks for confirming that it is working. Sorry I missed that part.

@LizardBlizzard it looks like the ms-toolsai.jupyter extension is not installed correctly. Try installing it again. Python extension is failing because it needs the jupyter extension to work.

/cc @rchiodo Another instance where Jupyter is not installed correctly and missing files.

Hi, as I said, it is working now. What I did was to reinstall all three extensions and restart my computer. Also, the Jupyter extension was installed when the problem occurred as you can see from the screenshot.

Thanks for the help!
