Failure to start kernel due to failures in loading Dlls

Aaron Munger edited this page Feb 10, 2023 · 4 revisions

Python kernels can fail to start if some dlls such as Win32api fail to load.

Recommended solution

  • Please consider installing the modules that could not be imported.
  • If they have already been installed, its possible it hasn't been installed correct, hence try the reinstall option as follows:
python -m pip install <xyz> -U --force-reinstall # if using a non-conda environment
conda install --name <environment name> --update-deps --force-reinstall # if using Conda environment

Re-install Python runtime

On rare occasions you might have to re-install the Python runtime as described by a few users here.
