Anaconda Navigator Update issue - anaconda

Would anyone know how to get Anaconda Navigator to update to the latest version of 2.1.0? Every time I try it will not do it. I looked it up on Youtube and there was a video post that said to try as an administrator. I tried that as well. When I hit update the window opens and strongly suggests updating to 2.1.0. It asks me if I want to update it, and I tap the yes button in green. It says that it will automatically shut down and begin the update, but once it shuts down it never updates or anything. Can anyone give me some insight as to what to do next?

Same issue, Solved by opening command prompt as administrator and using
conda install anaconda-navigator=2.2.0

recover vscode settings, vscode wont start after force ending update

VS Code has been trying to update for a few days now. It opens the innoupdater, but the updater never works.
Today I force stopped the updater from task manager and now my VS Code is gone (The VS Code icon is gone). It's showing the below error every time I try starting it.
windows cannot access the specified path you may not have permission
The innoupdater is also not working anymore, even if I reinstall. I am not sure How I can get my setting back.
You can safely reinstall vscode. Settings preserved even after uninstall in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode.
Also, you can use vscode built-in sync services or extension

Unable to create new jupyter notebook. Getting error '_xsrf' argument missing from POST

When trying to create new jupyter notebook. Following error is popping
'_xsrf' argument missing from POST
The problem probably arose from having an open notebook idle for too long.
Try this:
Copy the changes you have made in that notebook, and restart Jupyter.
Then reopen, paste your changes, and you should be good to go!
Check with another browser (or newer version of it). I started to get that error on Opera (might be an old version) but worked well using Chrome.
for me restarting the kernel worked. Give it a try!

PgAdmin fatal error. The appllication server could not be contacted

A couple of days before I have installed on my PC with Windows 7 Professional new version of PgAdmin (version 4). It worked fine, but today it loads slowly and then information window appears with text: "PgAdmin fatal error. The appllication server could not be contacted.". I restarted windows, but it doesn't help. Is there any solution of this problem? Thanks.
I had the same issue. Try right clicking the PgAdmin icon and clicking "Run as administrator". Worked for me.
worked for me if I run PgAdmin as administrator.
Right click on the .exe file and run as administrator. It will work.
I tried all options mentioned in link Postgresql can't connect application server through PGAdmin4 .
But none of the options worked, then launching C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v2\runtime\pgAdmin4.exe from command prompt worked fine.
i got this error using PgAdmin 4 (v4.3) and here is what fixed it for me
right lick on my server and disconnect server
reconnect by clicking expand arrow on the server.
seems my connection was stale
in C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming
delete folder pgAdmin
(AppData - is hidden folder)
run pgadmin with administrator.
Worked Fine for me
Previously it was showing Fatal error
I had to reinstall it, as Steve suggested in comments. Then it started working again.
It's probably best to start with Ray Jowa's solution -- try right clicking the PgAdmin icon and clicking "Run as administrator".
This was odd, my PATH variable which had the python interpreter in it was somehow a factor, I do not completely understand though, right after I removed it everything worked, I will look further into it but so far I think that if you have python interpreter it might be the one causing the issue.
rename your C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin to .back and restart pgAdmin v4.6x

SQL server 2016 installation freeze

Hope someone can help me here .
I have no further information other than that at a later stage in setup the whole process hangs showing install_confignonrc_cpu64
I am unable to cancel out of it even , the only way was to kill it .
Is there any solution for that ?
My problem was that the installer tries to download Microsoft R Open , if you have a slow connection you will see the installation freeze for a very long time without any progress bar updates or so .
I fixed the problem by deselecting all R components since i dont need them then the installation went smooth .
just had the same problem which is why I found this question.
Fixed the problem by closing the original media install menu window (where I'd selected "New SQL Server standalone" which is the first option).
The install window then carried on.
Just leave it "Stuck" - it is doing a Download in the background, I left the PC for a couple hours while doing some errands, and then..boom- All set.
I have faced same problem with you, the simple way that i have find is turn on Windows firewall then wait a minute after that it will auto complete setup success. Hope this work in your case .
Thanks,
Cuong.
Disable and stop the windows update service and then start the installation. After the installation is complete put the service back on.
SQL Install gets stuck on sqlrsconfigaction_install_confignonrc_cpu64 (SQL Server 2016 using standalone installer, also when installing on Azure VMs)
Resolution:
Stop the install (Taskman -> Kill Process)
Open regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
Add New Key Called: AppCompat
You should have this once added:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat
Add New DWORD entries as stated below to the AppCompat key:
DWORD: DisableEngine Value = 1
DWORD: DisablePCA Value = 1
DWORD: SbEnable Value = 0
Check the following location as the above key you added should also be here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
Restart the installation.
I closed everything and rebooted. Not sure if maybe having Visual Studio open or something else prevented it from installing, but it got stuck.
