The Julia Pro 6.2 kernel installed in Windows keeps on dying . The “DOS” window abruptly closes – the Jupyter notebook is disconnected and data is lost.

Where can I find logs to start pinpointing the problem?

Do you mean that you

1. start a terminal,
2. start the `julia.exe` inside it,
3. run `using IJulia; notebook()` or something similar,
4. and then the _terminal_ window (not the Julia process) closes abrubtly?

This sounds weird, even for Windows.

Correction: The notenook displays a message “Python stopped working” and the DOS window gives a message “Software caused connection abort” and then some more. See below. Any and all guidance would be very welcome. Thanks!
