Hi,I’m just encountering the same Error in vscode’s extension(jupyter),NOT this extension, and I finally solved this problem.You can reference the follow steps i used:

Reinstall the extension
open the 'hosts’ file,which located in ‘C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc’,and add a sentence like this: 127.0.0.1 http://localhost then save it .

Thanks.

Hi, you can simply copy the hosts file to your desktop, edit it and update it. Then copy it from the desktop to the original location, overwriting the source file and thus circumventing the file permissions issue.
