Error while trying to update JupyterLab with conda

I have just installed Anaconda on a new machine (Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, 64-bit). As I try to launch JupyterLab, I see that the package needs to be updated. However, I always get the following error:

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/win-64/repodata.json.bz2>

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.
SSLError(MaxRetryError('HTTPSConnectionPool(host=\'repo.continuum.io\', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /pkgs/free/win-64/repodata.json.bz2 (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([(\'SSL routines\', \'ssl3_get_server_certificate\', \'certificate verify failed\')],)",),))',),)

The same happens if I use conda from the prompt.

What is the problem here?

It looks like an SSL issue, are you working behind a firewall?

You can turn ssl off by editing your .condarc, which should allow you to update.

conda config --set ssl_verify False

Although I would recommend actually providing a certificate instead. I have answered this question previously here - CondaHTTPError - SSL error while installing NLTK, which has steps to export a CA certificate from your browser. Lets imagine you save it to C:\ca_certificates\my_certificate.cer . you can then point your conda config at it via the following command.

conda config --set ssl_verify C:\ca_certificates\my_certificate.cer
