Cant't launch jupyter notebook due to could not decode path

I use anaconda to install jupyter Following is my command

$ activate demo ....demo is my environment name

$ conda install jupyter

$ jupyter notebook

and then it will get following error message

[C 10:39:17.591 NotebookApp] Bad config encountered during initialization:

[C 10:39:17.594 NotebookApp] Could not decode 'C:\Users\\xbeG\xa8|\xa5\xe0\.jupyter' for unicode trait 'config_dir' of a NotebookApp instance.

I think my path under C: has chinese, so it can't decode properly. I also see some similar issue https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/5345

but this solution is no help to me, because I use window, I also tried to use chcp in CMD to change language. It doesn't work too.( I have tried chcp950 ,chcp65001,chcp436)

Are there anyone have idea about my problem?

I also have another problem is that when I conda install jupyter , it seems to be installed in C: automatically, I want to know are there any method install it to specific path? If it can achieve, I think there is no decode problem because path under D: didn't have chinese.

Thanks all of your help.

my environment:

Python 3.6.5

conda 4.6.11

Not sure if it'll fix your problem but you can install conda packages to a different directory by creating a different environment.

conda create --prefix D:\my_conda python=3.7
activate D:\my_conda

I think you can create .condarc file inside the root of this new conda environment and it'll override the one in your home directory.
