3. How you installed Julia

I installed julia-1.8.5-win64.exe from: https://julialang.org/downloads/

First attachment (julia-err.txt) , was my first attempt
julia-err1.txt

I read in a forum where deleting the General registry helped some.

Second attachment: julia-err2.txt was my second attempt after deleting the General registry
julia-err2.txt

Please submit a bug report to Julia itself or ask on the Julia Discourse forum. If Julia is crashing with an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION when you do a Pkg.add, that's not something specific to IJulia. I would first just try re-installing Julia itself, in case you have a broken/corrupted Julia installation

Also, don't put your error messages into text files. Just paste them directly into the issue quoted with ``` triple backticks:

julia> using Pkg

julia> Pkg.add("IJulia")
  Installing known registries into `C:\Users\snowz\.julia`
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\snowz\.julia\registries\General.toml`
   Resolving package versions...

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

Looks like this is JuliaLang/julia#41642
