Anaconda Installed But Cannot Launch Navigator

How to open the Anaconda Navigator with Windows 10

Open the terminal (win+r and write cmd then press enter)

Call conda info (conda should be installed.)

One of the response fields should be base environment : followed by a directory.

In that directory there should be a Scripts folder containing the anaconda-navigator application. Hit it and wait patiently while it spins up. Navigator should open. You can point shortcuts here and so on.

Anaconda Navigator Won't Open - Tried all other threads

The exact thing happened to me the yesterday.

1. Uninstall the new anaconda installation.
2. Delete all the conda, anaconda files and folders on your computer. (They are located inside the C:\Users\<yourusername>, C:\Users\<yourusername>\Appdata\Local and C:\Users\<yourusername>\Appdata\Roaming folders).
3. Restart your computer.
4. Download the appropriate Miniconda installer.

The fix is in the latest Miniconda installers:

64-bit:

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

32-bit:

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86.exe

5. Install it using the suggested settings.
6. Run the start menu shorcut Anaconda Prompt.
7. Execute the command conda install anaconda anaconda-navigator.

Hopefully this will solve your issues (it solved mine).

I would suggest against having Anaconda in your PATH because it is designed to run inside an environment and having it run separately (outside the environment) might mess things up.

Why will Anaconda Navigator not launch and how do I fix access is denied?

Usually that means that Anaconda was installed with administrative rights, Install for all users.

Ask your IT to execute the following commands or reinstall Ananconda Only for this user
