Can't run anaconda navigator

I've installed anaconda with all recommended packages and libraries and everything went fine, I started programming and stuff BUT

I can only run the navigator through the anaconda prompt by the command "anaconda-navigator"

I tried verifying the .exe shortcut file location and path of the icon that appears when typing anaconda on windows search, I restarted many times etc...

I actually don't know where the problem might be :(

Hello, I cannot provide any help with only the information you posted in the question. Could you provide a better description of the problem? Try to run Task Manager and check if, when opening navigator, it opens for a split second and then crashes. Let me know.

Hi Gianluca, thank you for the response, it doesn't even open for a split second when clicking the icon. it's not a real issue i can run it through the prompt but it would be better just to click the icon

Based on a StackOverflow thread 2 years old, try this in your anaconda Scripts path:

activate root
conda update -n root conda
conda update --all

conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator

Reboot your pc and retry with the app.

Anaconda navigator is a bit bugged, I also had the same problem. You can just open Spyder on W+S tho.

We still haven't used the anaconda Navigator during class. You can easily do everything you would do with it by terminal (Anaconda Prompt). At least for now, i don't recommend you to try to find a solution, it isn't worth your time...

Though if you really want to get the navigator, you can:

  1. Find the path of the file (search bar -> anaconda navigator (anaconda3) -> right click -> open file path -> open the properties of the linking file -> copy the path it is linking to) and run it directly by terminal, or by Win-R, but it shouldn't work all the same.
  2. disintall and reinstall anaconda, you can also try to delete everything saved on your PC, go on C:\Users\name_of_your_user delete every file linked to anaconda. But maybe it will still not work...
Even if Anaconda navigator doesn't work, don't worry, we won't probably be using it.
