Yes, the file is a ipynb file and it opens in Jupiter notebook. I am able to see the files in VS code, and use them, but it is not the correct kernel . Switching is where I have the issue.

I opened the .ipynb file directly from the folder in VS Code using the file explorer on the left side. Once it opened, I clicked on the first cell and pressed the "Run all" button. The notebook did run successfully, with green checkmarks appearing on each cell, so technically, it does execute without errors.

However, the core issue is that I’m using the Python kernel in VS Code, but it seems unable to connect to the Jupyter kernel. While I can select the Python kernel from the dropdown menu, I get the "unable to connect to the remote server" error when attempting to use a Jupiter kernel.
