I had a similar issue. I had to configure a setting through VS Code's command palette:

"Python: Select Interpreter to Start Jupyter server"

and select an environment with Jupyter installed, to allow VS Code to start the server.

In many cases, these issues stem from the Notebook server running in one environment, while the kernel and/or its resources, derive from another environment. Indicators of this scenario include: import statements within code cells producing ImportError or ModuleNotFound exceptions. General kernel startup failures exhibited by nothing happening when attempting to execute a cell.

May 14, 2023 - You can fix this by executing: pip install -U "jupyter-server<2.0.0" [C 17:38:28.827 NotebookApp] Running as root is not recommended. Use --allow-root to bypass. View Jupyter log for further details.
