JupyterLab fails to start on Windows

I do not have Admin privileges on my Windows laptop. I installed jupyterlab using pip. I now see multiple jupyter-* files under C:\Users\yash_ganthe\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\Scripts. Surprisingly most of the files have the same size 106KB.

When I run jupyter lab I get an error saying:

[I 2025-07-11 22:21:40.757 LabApp] JupyterLab extension loaded from c:\users\yash_ganthe\appdata\roaming\python\python312\site-packages\jupyterlab
[I 2025-07-11 22:21:40.760 LabApp] JupyterLab application directory is C:\Program Files\Python312\share\jupyter\lab
[E 2025-07-11 22:21:40.761 LabApp] JupyterLab application assets not found in “C:\Program Files\Python312\share\jupyter\lab”

If I have to pass an app-dir when invoking jupyter lab, which location should I pass?
