Access is denied error for anaconda command prompt for Anaconda 3.2019 version

I'm using the Anaconda3 2019.3 version on windows 10. A few days ago, I updated the window & ever since that I'm getting this error:

Access is denied

The system cannot find the file Are.

Could Not Find C:\Users\Who Are You\AppData\Local\Temp\conda-32451.tmp

enter image description here

I tried running it as administrator but nothing changed, I still got the same error.

enter image description here

I am unable to activate other environments installed on the anaconda. Instead the base python version runs all the time.

activate python36

With this error, neither I'm able to access other environments nor I'm able to do any updation to them through their command prompt. And every time I run anaconda I get this error. The base python version is running fine, but it's command prompt also throws this error. However, I'm able to install any package I want on base python even after this error.

What is this error and how can I solve it? I've tried reinstalling anaconda, but I'm still getting the same error. Any help would be really great.

Thank you.

I found this helps : https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8510

Apparently you need to change your TMP & TEMP environment variables to another path like E:/temp , etc.
