In Visual Studio Code, when I start the Python Interactive Window (by calling "Run Selection/Line in Python Interactive Window" command, for example), Jupyter server starts in the background. In that window, I can restart the kernel, but I can not find a way to stop the server. How can it be stopped? Simply closing the interactive window only disconnects from the server, but does not stop it.

There is no extra function build in VSCode. But you can manage it regularly from the terminal. You can stop it using jupyter-notebook stop.

Other ways are mentioned here as well: How to close IPython Notebook properly?

Finding the process in the task manager was the only option that worked for me.

If you are using the "Default" VSCode jupyter option running jupyer-notebook stop won't work. This is a known bug in vscode, but they closed the issue.

I have just started running notebooks in VSCode (Python) and wanted to stop a running cell, but couldn't find any way.

Just out of desperation I tried to change the running cell into a markdown cell and back to a code cell. That seemed to halt the process despite being hilariously inelegant.
