JupyterLab Issues:

There are occasional issues with Anaconda or JupyterLab installations or operations. This page is a location for me to collect potential solutions. No guarantees but hopefully there won't be too many of these.

Error executing Jupyter command 'lab': [WinError 5] Access is denied : Solution

Here is a link to a page with my current suggestions for responding to this error which shows up in the Anaconda Navigator window after attempting to launch Jupyterlab.

Installing nbextensions: Guide

This stackoverflow post addresses a problem that we have been trying to resolve. When you embed an image from a local folder in your Jupyterlab notebook it renders well in Jupyterlab on your computer but when you export the notebook to html prior to converting it to a pdf file the image gets lost. nbextensions has a tool that resolves this issue and allows you to export your notebook to html_embed which keeps the images embedded. This requires a quick conda install covered in the guide above. Save your notebooks before doing this and restart Jupyterlab after the install.

Using Jupyter Notebook Instead: Guide

Even though Jupyter Notebook has been deprecated (is being phased out in favor of Jupyterlab) it is currently still part of the Anaconda installation. In some cases Notebook will work when Jupyterlab has challenges. The guide linked above points out some of the differences in your user experience in Jupyter Notebook relative to Jupyterlab.
