anaconda3 4.4 (64bit) re-install error - anaconda

I installed Anaconda3 4.4 on my win10 laptop and everything went well. When I started spider the Kernel wouldn't start. and my anti virus (AVG) popped up to block something related to the program. I shut spider and anaconda navigator down and tried to reopened them, however the icon to start anaconda was removed i looked in the folder as well and could not find an exe file for it either. so i tried to uninstall. i ran the anaconda uninstall feature provided by Continuum and then tried to reinstall the program. and i get an error message "Failed to create Anaconda Menus" I'm not sure what to do from here
I did go in to AVG and delete the quarantined file from it. and i went through the registry as stated here How to remove anaconda from windows completely?

On the Start menu, enter "Control Panel" in the search box and select Control Panel from the results. Under "Programs" you should see "Uninstall a Program". You should find Anaconda.

Some applications including Anaconda Navigator and Command Prompt suddenly refuse to launch

After working in Anaconda's VS Code (and Microsoft C++ Build Tools), I restarted my computer. Afterwards, some applications, including Anaconda Navigator and Command Prompt, could not be opened anymore. I wanted to reinstall Anaconda Navigator, but even during uninstalling, I got the following error.
However, I proceeded and then installed Anaconda Navigator. Unfortunately even now, it would not open.
Any advice would be appreciated.
After many failed attempts at resolving the problem peacefully, I simply resetted Windows (Settings>System>Recovery>Reset this PC>Keep files), and now it works again.

Unistalling and re-installing anaconda while anaconda environment was open - can't open cmd anymore

I uninstalled and re-installed Anaconda on my Windows 64-bit while I had an Anaconda environment activated in my cmd. Now, cmd won't open anymore, unless I launch it as administrator (restarting computer and removing Anaconda as Path variable doesn't help). My guess is that my cmd is "blocked" now, as I didn't do "conda deactivate" before uninstalling Anaconda (can't say with certainty though that this was actually the reason, but it coincides with cmd not opening anymore).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
The error message from the screenshot appeared while uninstalling Anaconda, and also when trying to re-install it.

mayavi hangs under enthought canopy

I have been using Mayavi under enthought Canopy successfully for past 8 months. During a recent update using egg, I got a message about a missing egg in the Canopy package manager and found Mayavi Hanging. I tried to revet to older Mayavi (4.0.0) but no luck. It only works if I revert to Mayavi 3.4 version.
Can somebody suggest me possible sources of error. I am using Windows 8 64bit. Running Mayavi2.exe, Mayavi-script2.py and importing mayavi - none of these work under Mayavi version 4.0.0 onwards. ( On a 32 bit machine, however, I have no problems)
I suggest that you reset your Canopy User Python environment to start clean:
In the Canopy GUI, print sys.prefix to see where that environment's directory is, then quit Canopy and delete that directory (e.g. in Windows Explorer). Restart Canopy, and your environment will be auto-recreated from the installation-time eggs. (For that reason, you might want to first take the time to uninstall your Canopy, and install the current Canopy 1.5.1 from https://store.enthought.com/downloads/ but that's secondary) -- in-app auto-updates are currently disabled, and will be for at least a few more weeks.
Then open a Canopy Command Prompt (from the Start Menu or from the Canopy Tools menu) and type
enpkg mayavi to update to the current mayavi.
If you are non-academic free user, you'll need to wait a few days before this will work, as Mayavi is not currently accessible to such users using enpkg. Sorry for that inconvenience.
After uninstalling and re-installing Mayavi a couple of times, I continued to have the same problem that Mayavi used to hang.
I have managed to solve it by deleting a file
C:\Users\SUK000???\AppData\Roaming\Enthought\mayavi_e3\pyface\workbench\wx\windows_memento
It seems that Mayavi creates this file by default if it does not exist. If it exists, it tries to use the settings in this file to open Mayavi interface and hangs if it does not like the settings.
That was a relief. Thanks for your ideas.
