I recently got a new laptop at work. 2 years ago on my old laptop I set up some python environments through the command prompt opened in Anaconda and somehow each of those environments was put into my start menu as subheadings under Anaconda, enabling me to go right to them without opening Anaconda itself. I cannot remember how I did that, but I know I did not edit any registries or paths or anything.
I was hoping to do this on my new computer, but I cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?
Anaconda Navigator 2.3.1
Windows 10 Enterprise version 212H

I installed it on Windows 10 64x - from Anaconda site. It installs to C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 and the folder is like:
When I run _conda.exe, the prompt window appears and closes in a second. That's all.
I don't see no Navigator, nor Prompt. I have rebooted the PC.
What's the matter and how can I fix this problem?
You do not need to run that. Just use conda in shell.
I installed latest anaconda in C:\Users\Username\Anaconda3.
But the navigator and prompt are missing after installation.
I tried to re-install(as administrator) and reboot the window 10 but it didn't work.
I also tried to delete registry of python which was under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE as written in following page.
https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/troubleshooting/#cannot-see-anaconda-menu-shortcuts-after-installation-on-windows
Running 'conda' in command prompt only shows it's not recognized as an internal or external command.
It seems like Anaconda is not installed but just creating bunch of python package in the folder.
Can someone share the idea?
My environment is Window 10 64bit
Thank you very much.
Cleaned user variables in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System settings -> Environment Variable. Re-installed latest Anaconda in https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/
Now Navigator and Prompt are showing correctly.
Today when I was using jupyter notebook using anaconda navigator in my windows 10 machine but suddenly my screen became blue and loading screen appeared saying that some sort of error occurred then my computer restarted.
After restarting, my anaconda navigator got lost and anaconda prompt appeared in the start menu.I clicked but it said anaconda 3 system cannot find the path specified.
I tried reinstalling anaconda several times but nothing changed. Then reinstalled python still no change. I thought may be anaconda prompt needs to be deleted, so I deleted it. Now nothing appears on the start menu which I can use to start anaconda navigator no matter how many times I reinstall it.
I even tried to reinstall jupyter using PIP3 but installation fails. I really don't know how I am going to run .ipybn files.
I wanted to get my hands on the Anaconda Navigator. Recently on a normal PC I opened it and used it as if I'd been using it my whole life, the thing is that that PC uses Windows 7.
My laptop, however, has Windows 10 and it does not work. Anaconda installed after one hour and the navigator does not appear. I don't know if it's the whole of Windows 10 or just my machine, but it seems to me that the navigator should be here somewhere. The problem lies in that the 'Start' option for Windows 10 does not allow a user to ACTUALLY search for files ON their computer (total bummer since it makes everything difficult), so only the anaconda prompt and some "web searches" appear. Completely useless whatsoever.
I did try using the anaconda prompt with the help of a previously posted question (Anaconda Installed but Cannot Launch Navigator) with an identical problem to mine, where some of you mentioned that I should try the command 'anaconda-navigator', 'anaconda-navigator as', 'anaconda navigator', amongst other commands. None of which worked in any possible way. The commands were ignored since they just invoked errors that I do not know of.
Does anyone know what I should do/try, and if possible, leaving the option of reinstalling Anaconda all over as the last option? Thank you guys, would really help.
Ps: I downloaded the latest version for 64-bit Windows from the official page of Anaconda
Open the terminal (win+r and write cmd then press enter)
Call conda info (conda should be installed.)
One of the response fields should be base environment : followed by a directory.
In that directory there should be a Scripts folder containing the anaconda-navigator application. Hit it and wait patiently while it spins up. Navigator should open. You can point shortcuts here and so on.
I had a similar problem, but it cleared up after running Spyder once.
I'm using Windows 10 and I have Anaconda with Python 2 installed, so my root environment is Python 2. I created an additional Python 3 environment and among other packages installed iPython and Spyder into it. I used the Anaconda Navigator to install the packages.
I can activate and deactivate the environment using Windows CMD just fine. After activating the Python 3 environment in the CMD the ipython command typed into the same CMD starts up Python 3.6.1.
The Anaconda Startmenu folder does contain shortcuts to iPython and Spyder both for Python 2 and Python 3 now. I can use those to start both for Python 2 as before, but the Python 3 versions won't start. And there is no error message or crash or anything.
When clicking on the Python 3 iPython shortcut a command prompt pops up for a split second and immediatly closes again. Spyder does not even open a command prompt, it does absolutely nothing, I presume it's because iPython fails. Checking the task manager shows that there is no Python running in the background at all, so it really does not start.
Now I know that iPython 3 itself is not broken because I can start it from within CMD after switching environments, nonetheless I deinstalled and reinstalled them both, no change.
I then went into the shortcut to get the exact command it was executing to write a small batch file with a pause command to see if anything gets displayed when iPython fails. Doing a right-click on the shortcut and executing "open file location" leads me to python.exe in the Python 3 environment base folder, and executing that works fine of course.
So now I'm stumped since I have no leads to solve or even analyze the problem properly, over the entire course of action not a single error message ever appeared anywhere.
Any hints and suggestions are appreciated.
EDIT:
The target of the Python 3 shortcut in the properties looks like this:
C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\envs\Python3\python.exe C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\cwp.py C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\envs\Python3 "C:/Users/My.Name/AppData/Loca
The working shortcut to Python 2 looks pretty much the same:
C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\python.exe C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\cwp.py C:\Users\My.Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2 "C:/Users/My.Name/AppData/Local/Continuum/Anaconda2/pyth
I found the problem.
As it turns out the module menuinst wasn't automatically installed into the new environment so I had to manually install it. Now everything works.
