anaconda navigator will no longer start even through cmd, won't install or update or manage environments

Question

I'm new to django and using the anaconda cloud environment. Its been working well for 3 months plus but as of 7-24-2018 it is just stop to launch the navigator or open through cmd. I can't manage environments or install packages. Using the anaconda prompt also gives me the same error upon launching. It started when I wanted to install django-Oscar, but not having its dependencies I was forced to install the packages manually which in turn needed cytoolz that needs Microsoft Visual C++ build tools which I got to install as well but the error persists. Please help me!

Copy/Paste of CMD Traceback:

I've just found out that I cant even use any conda commands except the : >conda --version< command only. Please help me resolve this issue without uninstalling then reinstalling anaconda completely

Answer 1

It usually happen when you directly download and insall anaconda normally form its website.

Updating anaconda solved this issue for me in Manjaro and will surely work on Windows as well.

use conda update anaconda-navigator command to Update Anaconda.

If it doesn't starts, restart your pc and try to open it again.

Answer 2

Sorry to waste your time, I solved it by reinstalling anaconda completely and every project started working again....thanks to those who read it, the effort is appreciated.
