Conda install and update do not work also solving environment get errors

Question

I am using anaconda as below:

(base) C:\\Users\\xxx>conda info

     active environment : base
    active env location : C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\ANACON         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem and I couldn't find a solution, but I did find a workaround. If you create an env and activate that env and then do the install, it seems to work just fine. If you don't need a lot of libraries I would try that.

Commands are:

1. Create env

conda create --name myenv

2. Activate the env

conda activate myenv
