Error : "The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically."

Question

I am facing an error which I do not know how to fix. I'm trying to get this piece of code to work on windows but I have this error appearing

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


plt.plot()

Error: "The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically."

Are you using jupyter locally or through a browser (like Kaggle)? — Riley, Oct 30 '21 at 12:52
something installed is corrupt (this includes Jupyter and it's dependencies). I'd try importing each of the modules by themselves and trying to figure out the culprit. — Riley, Oct 30 '21 at 13:21

You can just use py script instead of Jupyter but if you wanna use Jupyter try either reinstalling NumPy or update.

pip install -U numpy

I just had the same error message appear while using Jupyter notebook. Based on what I read, I think it's suggested to reinstall pandas, NumPy and matplotlib (other libraries if necessary) and see if that works.

I had several other issues, so I reinstalled the Anaconda navigator.
