I have defined my wanted folder in jupyter_notebook_config at C:\Users\user.jupyter\ folder, but no matter if it is with / or \ it just loads C:\Users\user folder and not my defined one.

Would appreciate help. Running latest version 6.4.5 from anaconda.
The default notebook-dir is the user’s HOME directory, so it looks like your configuration settings are not getting picked up - as you mention. If you’re launching jupyter notebook from a command prompt (and if not, I suggest you do), here are some suggestions to narrow things down.
Try the CLI option directly: jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=C:\Users\user\Python as this will not rely on the configuration file to set the value as any CLI options supersede config file options. (Note the use of a dash in --notebook-dir rather than an underscore. Typically, the CLI flags use dashes where the configuration options use underscores - and this is an example of that.) I’m not aware of how path separators should be expressed on Windows or whether some options are more finicky in this area than others, so you might need to switch the styles if this doesn’t work.
If you invoke jupyter notebook --debug to enable DEBUG logging, some of the early messages indicate the directories being searched for configuration files. There should be an indication of which directory contained appropriate files, so those messages are probably worth a close look.
The command jupyter --paths will display the various directories searched. This output is broken down into sections of config, data, and runtime so focus on the config directories.
If you’re not invoking jupyter notebook from a command prompt, I’m not sure how to perform the above checks via another “launcher”. Perhaps others have some ideas as well.
Hi, I am also having trouble lauching jupyter in a browser. It does nothing. A jupyter notebook will open for me in VS Code and IDLE but not a browser. When I try to launch from command line:
(base) C:\Users\nicho>jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=C:\Users\nicho\Python

I see in other forums that there should be a configuration file to control the redirect to a browser. Because of the ‘jupyter notebook’ launch error, I cannot do any other commands, as shown.
It took me a long time to figure out the dilemma. By some sort of random event, I tried upgrade for the last of a dozen times, then anaconda prompt returned “requirement already satisfied lines,” and it finally ran. I have no idea. I also tinkered with the path a bit for Anaconda, but that did not initially work. Perhaps it was the combination of the two. I am sure it probably broke something else by getting a notebook to run. I also use nteract with notebooks, so this might present another problem.

I do see that I threw a pip into the conda environment for the installation/update. I guess that may have been the difference, though I would not recommend that to others. That was purely an accident on my end.
Hi LaMpiR,
I found your solution. I, too, had the same issue when launching from Anaconda 3. To resolve this, open the Anaconda installation directory. I’m on Windows, but chose a custom installation location. However, you should be able to find your Anaconda 3 installation folder easily enough if you are familiar with your operating system.
My installation path is D:\Programming\Anaconda3\ so adjust your accordingly. From there, find this directory:
.\Lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\utils
You are looking for the launch.py file. Open it in your favorite Python editor.
Find this line: def console(activate=None, working_directory=os.path.expanduser(’~’), term_command=’’):
then change the working_directory value to working_directory=’/path/to/desired/directory’ (note the forward slashes).
Save, stop the server, then restart it (it probably won’t hurt to reload Anaconda, too). Your server should now start with the desired directory.
