Anaconda navigator VERY slow

Question

My anaconda navigator takes 2-3 minutes to start...Did anyone else notice this problem? I have proxy setting set correctly and I can use conda install with no problem...

Answer 1

I started Anaconda Navigator with "Run as Administrator" privileges on my Windows machine, and it worked like a charm. Though it did ask me for Admin credentials for a couple of times while loading different scripts, but the response was <1 min, compared to 6 - 8 mins. earlier.

1. Search for Anaconda through desktop search or go to Cortana tool on the desktop toolbar and type Anaconda
2. On the Anaconda icon that shows up, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator"
3. Provide Admin credentials when prompted

This should hopefully work for Windows 10 users.
