Couldn't start client Python Tools

[PedroVergaraIglesias]

Start Visual Studio Code, I saw that its update, and deploy the messages errors:
"Couldn't start client Python Tools" and "Invalid uri, not a notebook: c:..path"

The same issue for me, it didn't work on my surface pro even though it worked before the update. It still works on my desktop before the update was applied. I applied the update and it is also not working on my desktop now.

Looks like you might have a bad update. Do the following to remove stale versions of the extension:

1. Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first).
2. Close all instances of VS Code.
3. Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Linux/Mac.
4. Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
5. Start VS Code, and install Python extension (also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions, but those steps did not fix my issue.
I managed to get my notebook working again by uninstalling the current version of vscode and installing the previous version of visual studio code.

Hi @mtrj1776 can you please share the Python output logs?

It was fixed with the newest visual studio code update. No changes made by me.
