Tried to change directories, Spyder Kernel Broken, it's been months and I can't fix it...your guide has nothing about this issue

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Hi Spyer

I am a fairly new coder. I tried to change my directories and they don't stay changed in the path directory.

I've tried everything to resolve it. I've used chatgpt.

There's complaints of this all over Reddit and Github. It's not addresssed in your troubleshooting guide or anywhere in your docs.

Please provide a solution.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
