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

But when I try to run 'pipenv install' it gives the following error.

There is no such directory that the error mentions. I have checked my environment variables and everything is fine there too. Please help me with this error.
Thank you for your time.

I think the newer version of pipenv is causing the error, I use this command when having the same issue and it worked for me, just use
pip install pipenv==2018.10.13

I had the same problem when I uninstalled Anaconda. Mine got solved after I did the following steps
run regedit.exe
Go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore
If there is/are folders having previous versions of python.Delete every version of python other than your current one(for eg.3.7, 3.8 etc. I also had to delete some folder containing something related to anaconda to solve the problem (other than the previous versions)

I was just struggling with a similar problem with pipenv that was giving me the same error messages.
WinError 2 has to do with corrupted files in one of your Python installs/uninstalls. I searched regedit for Anaconda3 to figure out which version of Python that I had previously installed or uninstalled was causing the problem.
For me, it was Python 3.6.5. I installed it in the same location as the path in the error message (in your case that would be D:/program_files/). Then, I just uninstalled it with the installation exe, and I stopped getting these error messages.

Have you tried the conda install command? To do this, go on your anaconda prompt, cd in the folder where you have installed your anaconda. Have a look at this.
conda install -c conda-forge pipenv
make sure you activate your environment before running the conda install command. To activate your environment run conda activate envname. I hope it helps!

Default kernel in jupyter notebook (Python3) not working

I installed Anaconda3 having Python 3.7.3 on Windows 10.
When I launch Jupyter Notebook from Anaconda3 Navigator using environment: base(root), it shows kernel error and Python 3 (which is default kernel) as dead kernel.
The kernel error is:

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:

Arcgis Pro 2.0 Jupyter Notebook Install Fails

I did a fresh windows install of ArcGIS Pro 2.0 to a local user location. I then used the python package installer to install spyder and jupyter.
I launched jupyter notebook from the python command prompt that resides in the start menu for ArcGIS Pro.
Jupyter launches, but creating a new notebook always starts with a dead kernel. ipykernel is installed according to the ArcGIS pro python package manager. The kernel error message follows.

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
I've worked on this problem for a few days but I can't figure it out. I've looked at a number of posts that discuss connecting Jupyter and arcgis. They all make it appear possible if not easy, but this seems like a non-starter. What is missing, and why is the kernel starting dead? How do I fix it?

you said it's dead kernel though python is installed , assuming everything ok (versions, etc) ,that's means jupyter didn't recognize the kernel yet
The error is matching that of: issue
I think it's mostly the same , sometimes the kernels json files for jupyter need to be created in some folder (in windows it were in C:/Programs Data/Jupyter/.. ) before the first usage
launch the command (as admin):
python -m Jupyter kernelspec install-self
Then retry,

To fix it, run the python command prompt with the following:
(gee) C:\Users\thapa\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\gee>
conda activate tensorflow1
conda install ipykernel
ipython kernel install --name tensorflow1 --user
Restart ArcGIS pro, now it will work.
