Why does jupyter display "None not found"?

Question

I am trying to use jupyter to write and edit python code. I have a .ipynb file open, but I see "None not found" in the upper right hand corner and I can't execute any of the code that I write. What's so bizarre is that I'll open other .ipynb files and have no problem. Additionally, when I click on the red "None not found" icon, I'll get the message "The 'None' kernel is not available. Please pick another suitable kernel instead, or install that kernel." I have Python 3.5.2 installed. I suspect the problem is that jupyter is not detecting the Python 3 kernel? It displays "Python[root]" where it should say "Python 3." Does anyone know how to get this fixed?

I had the same problem here. The solution for me was:

1. in the menu in Kernel -> Change kernel -> choose Python [Root] (or the kernel you want),
2. save the file,
3. close it,
4. reopen it.
