"illegal multibyte sequence" on launching JupyterLab

There are some error messages when launching JupyterLab which I just installed yesterday (with conda create <$ENVIRONMENT>…), and in which I see “illegal multibyte sequence”, so I am wonder this is related to the Asian language, please advise how to fix it. =

Environment: Windows 11, Chrome browser, JupyterLab.

Thanks in advance.

Read the migration plan to Notebook 7 to learn about the new features and the actions to take if you are using extensions.

https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrate_to_notebook7.html

Please note that updating to Notebook 7 might break some of your extensions.
