I recently installed a new SSD on my laptop and reorganized my drives. I moved all software from drive D to the new SSD, now named drive Z. I then merged the original drive D into drive C. However, I'm encountering issues with Python and its associated tools like Jupyter Lab and Pip, which were part of the moved software.
When I try to open Jupyter Lab using the command jupyter lab, I receive the following error:
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\python3.8.9\WPy64-3890\python-3.8.9.amd64\python.exe" "Z:\python3.8.9\WPy64-3890\python-3.8.9.amd64\scripts\jupyter-lab.exe" ': ???????????,
Similarly, using pip list gives me this error:
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\python3.8.9\WPy64-3890\python-3.8.9.amd64\python.exe" "Z:\python3.8.9\WPy64-3890\python-3.8.9.amd64\Scripts\pip.exe" list': ???????????
However, I can open Python and Spyder normally through the Command Prompt, and I've verified all my environment variables.
Question:
How can I resolve these issues and correctly point the system to the new Python executable path on drive Z? Is there a way to update the paths without reinstalling Python and all related packages?
- I searched "python" in regedit and changed all D:\ to Z:\
- I changed all env variables from D:\ to Z:\
