Anaconda Jupyter Notebook Kernel error ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32api: The specified procedure could not be found

I had python 3.8 and jupyter notebook running in visual studio code before. After I installed Anaconda, I cannot run jupyter notebook any longer and am getting a Kernel error.

I have tried conda install ipykernel --update-deps and conda install pywin32 but the issue persists. How can I fix this?

This suggestion worked for me: pip uninstall pywin32 and then conda install it again:
https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/4980#issuecomment-663885620
how to use pip from conda:
Open Anaconda.
Select Environments in the left hand pane below home.
Just to the right of where you selected and below the "search environments" bar, you should see base(root). Click on it.
A triangle pointing right should appear, click on it an select "open terminal"
Use the regular pip install command here.
then how to install pywin32 using anaconda:
ran conda install from anaconda prompt as admin per this website, https://anaconda.org/anaconda/pywin32 :
conda install -c anaconda pywin32

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Because of this I can't use Jupyter to run anything.
How to fix it?

This is a problem with your environment. Here's how you debug it:
Check whether the kernel specified in Jupyter config (see %APPDATA%\jupyter\kernels\<kernel_name>\kernel.json / ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/<kernel_name>/kernel.json on Linux) is launchable via the command line.
E.g. in my kernel.json file, there is:
{
"argv": [
"/home/mrmino/.virtualenvs/taf/bin/python3.7",
"-m",
"ipykernel_launcher",
"-f",
"{connection_file}"
],
"display_name": "Python 3",
"language": "python"
}
Therefore, on my system, the command /home/mrmino/.virtualenvs/taf/bin/python3.7 -m ipykernel_launcher should start ipython kernel.
If on yours it does not, you have to install it or manually correct it in the JSON kernelspec file.

Try this, it worked for me.
python3 -m ipykernel install --user

Default kernel in jupyter notebook (Python3) not working

I am new to Python and anaconda, please help someone!

Seeing the slew of error you are getting, i advise you to reinstall anaconda on windows 10. Kernel errors aren't easily solved. So, reinstalling is the easiest way to solve this... given link should help:===>
Installing anaconda on W10

1)In jupyter notebook if you find "kernel dead" then click file and select close and halt option.When notebook gets closed you can go to kernel and click restart.
2) If the above instruction didn't work then uninstall and install the following packages
jupyter_client
jupyter_core
ipykernel
ipython
ipython_genutils
traitlets

Path of Python is trying to access an old version. And this path is not accessible in the Finder (in MacOS) [duplicate]

I have been using jupyter as well as Atom with python for more than a year now. I'm currently using Python 3.7.2 on macOS 10.14. There is no problem running Python from the Terminal and here are the PATH I get after running sys.path:
['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python37.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages']
I can open a jupyter notebook in jupyter but for some obscure reason, I cannot run the notebook and there is a red Kernel error on the top right of the page with the following error message when I click on it:

I already uninstalled all the python installations on my computer including the anaconda version (except python 2.7 as my mac doesn't accept that I remove it)

ok what i did is that I uninstalled python and reinstalled everything with Homebrew and it worked

Problems with installation ipython notebook in anaconda

I got some problems with installation ipython notebook / jupyter notebook in anaconda.
Actually, the problem started when I tried to install python 3.4 kernel in 2.7 anaconda. I failed to do that and just installed anaconda 3.4 instead. After that I realized that jupyter notebook for python 3.4 doesn't work and gives kernel error. I somehow managed to fix it by re-intalling anaconda 3.4.
Recently I tried to upgrade anaconda 3.4 and something went wrong. The upgrade terminated with ton of exceptions, and ipython stopped working again.
I tried to re-install anaconda 3.4 (to version 3.5), but it it didn't help. After that I re-installed both versions 2.7 and 3.5, but no result again. Instead intallation of 2.7 went with an error.
Now the situation is:
Anaconda 2.7 installed with an error, but it works somehow (including jupyter).
In anaconda 3.5 jupyter fails to create new puthon3 file with kernel error (see the error log in the end).
It seems to me that I did some stupid thing and I have no idea how to fix it. I want to make both versions of pyhon work (especially notebooks). I'll be thankfull for any help with this situation. OS is Windows 7 Professional.
