can you get the ruby version? (to make sure ruby is running ok)

how did you install jekyll?

what is the output of gem list?

I use win 10 and use the regular command prompt or powershell and both work no problem.

I’m not sure about this, but it kind of looks like you have ruby installed in 2 different places? The site_ruby looks like a duplicate possibly? so you could have gems in 2 different places and they are conflicting or not working together.

If you google the main error - uninitialized constant Kramdown::Parser::Kramdown (NameError) you will see a couple other posts on here about this, they look similar.

Not sure what the solution is, maybe uninstall ruby and reinstall it?

Maybe this is true, but I don’t recall installing it more than one time. Found here that site_ruby and vendor_ruby existing together might break ruby gems.

I did that, but couldn’t found any solution. Also, most of those issues weren’t produced right after the installation.

Yes, will do that now. Maybe it could be of some help. Thanks !

Update: Re-installation of Ruby solved it.
Got the:

C:\Users\XYZ>jekyll -v
jekyll 4.0.0
