Answer 1

Following this answer, this solution is working for me on windows 10,

From the anaconda prompt :

1. Create a custom environnement and specify the repository channel to find the version (in my case 3.6.5)

    conda create --name py365 python=3.6.5 --channel conda-forge

2. Activate the new environment

    conda activate py365

But the activation won't be permanent, you will need to activate each time you start the anaconda prompt

3. Create a shortcut to Anaconda prompt with your choosen environment

In order to activate permanently your custom environment, you can create a anaconda prompt shortcut which new target. Go to

C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda3 (64-bit)

And Copy and rename the file Anaconda Prompt (Anaconda3) to Anaconda 3.6.5. Then right-click on the new file and click on "Properties".

Then change the target :

%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" C:\Users\Your_Name\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\Users\Your_Name\Anaconda3

to

%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" C:\Users\Your_Name\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\Users\Your_Name\Anaconda3\envs\py365

(be aware to change "Your_Name" by your "real" name )

Finally, if you go to your Windows Start menu, you will see your new shortcut "Anaconda 3.6.5" which launch the Anaconda Prompt with your choosen environment !
