Answer 1

The Fix is simple. Here's what you need to do. Go to--

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\

*Replace USERNAME with your own***

If you are not able to access this location, then directly search in your C drive for Continuum, and from there you can write the rest of the URL

Search for "Activate.bat" If you are able to find this file, then go to ANACONDA PROMPT and Change your directory by typing:

cd C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\

*Replace USERNAME with your own***

Your directory is now projecting to this new location.

Now type:

activate.bat

Hit enter

Now you activated your Anaconda.

Now, you can check if it is working or not by typing

Conda list
