Hi All,
Is anyone else facing the same issue as well? I had installation of Julia 1.5.2 earlier. And was using packages like IJulia. Now I installed Julia 1.5.3. When I lauch Julia 1.5.3 and type `using IJulia` I see the following dump.
```julia

I cannot install `IJulia` again as that would download `Conda` and can be very time consuming. Updating the packages didn’t help. When I launch the Julia 1.5.2 instance everything works file.
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

I have the same problem. For any package from the depot. Some problems with precompilation:

If you clear out `.julia/compiled` does it come back?

a workaround is to start terminal with administrator privileges and then precompile all packages.

I installed Julia 1.5.3 using chocolatey. this version is still under testing/failing tests.
using IJulia works OK for me… I dont mean to be contrary…
IJulia is v1.22.0 before any updates to the packages
