How do I resolve "Failed to create process" in Anaconda? - anaconda

I downloaded Anaconda 3.6, but when I tried "conda update conda" or tried opening jupyter notebook, it shows Failed to create process. Please help!

I have uninstalled 64-bit software, removed shortcuts, installed 32-bit software and ran below command at the Anaconda prompt.
(base) PS C:\anaconda3\Scripts> conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
Once updates done, navigator client opened with no issues.

Anaconda Spyder 4.1.5 updates

I have the most recent Anaconda navigator on both my Windows and Linux machines, but when i open Spyder on either machine it tells me that Spyder 4.1.5 is available and i should install it. I can't do this through navigator.
The Anaconda page says to run 'conda install -c anaconda spyder' to install Spyder 4.1.5. link: Anaconda.org page On my linux machine this just tries to install Spyder 4.1.4 (Ubuntu screeenshot), I get the same result with windows (windows screenshot)
It seems this is a regular issue, what is the point of relesaing a piece of software and then not allowing it to be downlaoded and installed in the very manner that both Anaconda and Spyder tell you to do it?
Since you seem to have a previous version installed, did you try a simple update from the conda prompt?
conda update spyder --dry-run
Just remove the --dry-run part if everything looks fine.

Trouble with installation of Anaconda 2020.02

Whenever I try to install Anaconda, Anaconda Navigator, Anaconda Prompt then all other applications are not included in the Anaconda3 folder. Is there any reason for this? I'm unable to find a solution for this.

Anaconda installer not working - Windows 10

I have installed the Anaconda 3 in my windows 10 and it has not installed the Scripts folder and the Anaconda Prompt or Navigator applications.
I have come here and in other sources for an answer and tried to reinstall, use the cmd as adm to install with the conda commands, but the system does not recognize the conda command. I have seen answers with the Scripts folder, but it was not installed.
I have also seen answers advising me to install miniconda and then update to anaconda, but again, miniconda has the same problem as anaconda: no scripts folder, no recognition of the conda command.
I don't know what to do.
Dear all who may have had the same problem, what worked for me was to install the 32-bit version, I had heard it was more stable.
I did not have to restart Windows after installing this version, It was already there, Anaconda Prompt and Navigator.
I work on a hp Probook with windows 10 and the problem was that the application hp Sure Sense Installer block the installation of anaconda. After uninstalling the hp Sure Sense Installer application and reinstalling anaconda, everything works fine !

Can't find Anaconda navigator or Anaconda prompt

I install Anaconda vs 2019.10 on my Windows 10 but I couldn't find the shortcuts to it.
I've tried searching for it using CMD but it's returns the message that Anaconda can't be found
And I can't also find jupyter notebook or spider
Reinstall Anaconda and don't change the default settings. Everything will work as expected. C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Anaconda3\condabin will be added to your PATH and you'll only need to conda activate (or run the Anaconda-Prompt shortcut) to start using Python.

How to restore shortcuts to Anaconda after upgrading to Windows 10

Recently I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Although Windows said it didn't change anything to my files and folders, this was not the case. Only one of the shortcuts in my Anaconda folder in the start menu remained. This was the Anaconda Prompt so I thought I just run the following commands to fix my links:
conda update conda -f
conda update anaconda -f
Although this returned a few links, it did not restore everything which means I was stuck with a dysfunctional installation of Anaconda.
The following worked for me (albeit on Windows 7):
Open a command prompt as administrator
Execute "C:\Anaconda3\pythonw.exe" "C:\Anaconda3\Lib\_nsis.py" mkmenus
I use Miniconda. When I updated with
conda update conda
there were these following lines along with the list of packages to be updated:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
console_shorcut-0.1.1-3
powershell_shortcut-0.0.1-2
I saw those lines after the update and the shortcut to the command window was gone. So I restored the Anaconda Prompt command window shortcut with
conda install console_shortcut
mkmenus did not work for me but the following worked on Windows 10 32-bit, Miniconda3.
Open command prompt (admin privileges not required).
Navigate to your Miniconda\Scripts directory. Replace kk with your username.
cd "C:\Users\kk\Miniconda3\Scripts"
Run Activate.bat
activate.bat
Install console_shortcut.
conda install -c anaconda console_shortcut
When using Miniconda installed for the local user:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\Miniconda3\pythonw.exe C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\Miniconda3\Lib\_nsis.py mkmenus
This was also on Windows 7.
To solve this I did the following:
Remove Anaconda with "add or remove program" link
Reinstall Anaconda with the latest installer link
After this everything is restored and since the uninstall program does not remove user files your environments and settings are also still there. If for some reason you stored projects in the Anaconda folder, this folder will be removed so watch out for that ;)
