Application launch error Jupyter Notebook 7.0.8

Hi,
I’m running Navigator 2.6.1 on Windows 11 and when launching the Jupyter Notebook 7.0.8 following error appears

I’ve already done a cleanup and reinstalled Navigator again but the problem stays active.
All tips and tricks are welcome :slight_smile:

Hello,

This issue can be resolved by giving full permission to the runtime folder.
Step 1: Right-click the File or Folder
Step 2: Select “Properties”
Step 3: Go to the “Security” Tab
Step 4: Click “Edit”
Step 6: Adjust the Permissions

Try to relaunch the Jupyter Notebook 7.0.8

Hi,

Problem solved :partying_face:

thx for the reply on my question

I am having the same issues. I followed these steps. And all my permissions are checked for allow, except the boxes for special permissions, which it does not allow me to check either of the boxes. I am running jupyter notebook version 7.3.2. Here is the message I get for the application failed to launch window. Please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am just starting to learn to code.

Hi Michael,

open windows explorer and navigate to C:\\Users\\Owner\\AppData\\Roaming\\jupyter\\runtime\\

you should find the jpserver-4608-open.html file there.

Double click that file, Windows will give a pop-up, if you don’t have the right permissions to open it, asking to grant the necessary permissions. Confirm this and you should be good to go

Not finding the AppData folder anywhere in explorer.
