Unable to open jupyter notebook from cmd

Hi, I have been using jupyter notebook for about a year, decided to install an old offline game which required some DirectX 9 and old version VS C++ installations, and suddenly unable to start jupyter notebook after this.

It just hangs after entering “jupyter notebook –debug”. Ctrl+C unable to respond but have to close the window. The screenshoot is as below. Seems that it unable to find the configuration files.

Then I tried to generate the config file with “–generate config” as many posts suggested. And digged out some json files from other root folders showed in the screenshot above, pasted them under C:\Users\dell\.jupyter. I have also tried to force jupyter accepting the config file, but still unable to move pass this stage.

Have tried search online for solutions but unable to find anything to solve this issue. Any help or hint is deeply appreciated!

this is the screen shot after forcing jupyter to accept the config file

This seems entirely unrelated.

How did you install jupyter notebook? Which python version and which version of jupyter notebook are you running?

Python is 3.13.11 and jupyter notebook is 7.5.1.

Installation of notebook is done with “conda install notebook”.

Would you think de-sync the C:\Users\dell\Documents folder from onedrive is related to this issue? C:\Users\dell\Documents folder used to be linked to my onedrive account, and I disconnected from onedrive recently. I have reinstalled python and jupyter afterwards too, but the problem still persistent.
