• Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2022.0.1786462952
• OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042
• Python and/or Anaconda version: 3.9 and 3.10
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): ALL

Expected behaviour

Jupyter should find at least one environment and everything was working fine until it didn't.

Actual behaviour

No environment/kernels available/detected.

Steps to reproduce:

[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]

UNKNOWN, just started to not work. I reinstalled and restarted almost everything, only didn't reinstall the whole system.
Started with numpy not having some libraries (with no changes to anything), I reinstalled Anaconda, restarted everything. Anaconda works in Poweshell and loads correctly. I tried every trick to reset and do it right. Nothing worked.

Thanks for the issue. Jupyter output log can be found here:

Can you try posting the contents of that panel? It should show the results from us trying to find kernels.

[inobrevi]

Ok, I found it. Edited into original post.

[rchiodo]

Can you include the python output as well? We ask the python extension for the list of interpreters on the machine. That output makes it look like the python extension didn't find any.

[inobrevi]

Infinite stream of:

[ERROR 2022-1-8 19:40:23.137]: No python is installed or a refresh has not already been triggered

Well, seems like it is not jupyter problem...

Begging of log

[rchiodo]

Okay I'll transfer your issue to the python team.
