Answer 1

I use the anaconda in win10 x64 (python3.x) and I got this problem this morning as well. All the things had been done in anaconda was that I installed a package called pywinauto, then I turned off the computer and went home.

I follow the suggestion from https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!topic/anaconda/4hBTDOcDzgo by lan, I update the anaconda by using the command.

conda update anaconda-navigator

However, the error occurred the same.

Then I reboot the computer and restart the anaconda, magic thing happens! the anaconda works fine!

I think maybe some configuration has been changed when I install the new package, and this change is conflicted with the current configuration which you need to reboot the computer to fix it. you should note that turn off computer then restart it is not equal to reboot it.

So, just reboot the computer and it will be fine.
