Just in case it speeds up the process of troubleshooting, you might want to paste system info from: `Cursor` \> `Help` \> `About`. And a few more troubleshooting questions: Are you using `Interpreter Mode` in Ctrl + L when you see this message? Do you have Python installed on your system? If so, which version? Do you have these extensions from Microsoft installed? - Python from ms-python - Jupyter from ms-toolsai I had [quite a bit of trouble](https://forum.cursor.com/t/failed-to-find-a-kernel-to-run-the-code-please-install-the-jupyter-extension/3676/11) getting Interpreter Mode to work when I first started using Cursor, so I’m aware it requires you to be really clear about what Python version you have installed, and whether you have the required extensions installed and configured properly etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/discovering-python-interpreters-stucks-forever/12392)._
