Question

I am getting following error when I run Jupyter Notebook:

Answer 1

On windows, you can kill the Jupyter notebook process with taskkill. First display the list of processes with

tasklist                                   

Then kill the process with:

taskkill /F /PID  __process_id_number__

Then restart the notebook with:

jupyter notebook
