[FIXED] Is Jupyter notebook removed from list of languages in VS Code?

Issue

Recently I have updated VS Code to the version 1.70.2.

I am encountering following problem: after I create a new file, I want to select the language. I am looking to select Jupyter notebooks (Python). Normally I would press Ctrl K M and the drop down menu appeared, from which I was able to select Jupyter (the file extension .ipynb)

Now I cannot find Jupyter in list of defaults (I search using both word Jupyter and the extension). Where is it? How Can I add Jupyter back to the list of default choices in VS Code? I could save a file and then rename it with Jupiter extension, but it is annoying!

Solution

In essence: I have update my VS Code from version 1.5-ish to recent 1.70.2. Previously, a new text file was created and all you had to do is to click Ctrl + K M and select Jupyter from drop-down menu. Now a new text file has a message Select a language or open a different editor to get started. To get Jupyter one has to click on open a different editor and select Jupyter Notebook.
