Jupyter lab run_kernel not working

Tooling Jupyter-Notebook

I finally decided to update to 1.11 and juliaup. So I installed 1.11 with juliaup and got rid of the former 1.9 version I used. Ì’m on Windows 11. Everything seemed working except jupyterlab. I get the following in the terminal from which I started jupyter lab:

ERROR: UndefVarError: `run_kernel` not defined in `IJulia`
Suggestion: check for spelling errors or missing imports.
Stacktrace:

   @ Base .\Base.jl:42
 [2] top-level scope
   @ none:1

I started digging a bit and looked in the kernel.json where it seems the following is executed

import IJulia; IJulia.run_kernel()"

So I tried this in the repl and I get

Starting kernel event loops.

I found the Windows\System32 fishy and found a thread where it’s mentioned this is not the correct behaviour, but no real solution. A bit more reading suggested to me it has something to do with environments etc. I finally changed

"--project=@.",

in kernel.json to

"--project=C:\\Users\\XXmyusernameXX\\.julia\\environments\\v1.11",

(with the correct username of course) and now everything is working. However, I find this to be a bit of a hack and not so nice. Interestingly, when I open a fresh repl and check the project everything seems fine?

julia> Base.active_project()
"C:\\Users\\m129319\\.julia\\environments\\v1.11\\Project.toml"

I think there’s some kind of issue here but I’m not sure where to open a respective issue. IJulia? jupyter?
