Anaconda Navigator don't launch since update to version 2.7.1

Product Help Anaconda Navigator
1

Today I got the recommendation to update my Navigator version from 2.7.0 to 2.7.1.

Before executing the update I checked my conda version in the base environment. I have the latest conda version 26.3.2 installed. So I started the update for the Navigator via the Navigator UI and received the message that the update was successfull. After that the Navigator couldn’t be launched any more via the desktop icon. The “Windows wheel” is turning for a few seconds and then it vanishes.

Actions taken so far:
Restart of the computer: No effect.
Check for Navigator version in (base) CLI: Version 2.7.1 is installed.

Are there any hints how to get the Navigator up again?

I tried to start the Navigator via the (base) CLI. Please find the messages hereafter:

Hi, same issue, please try following code in your terminal:

conda activate base

conda update conda

conda install -n base -c defaults --update-deps anaconda-navigator anaconda-auth

Hello, Thanks for your answer!

The first 2 commands had no effect because the base environment is already activated and I have the latest conda 26.3.2 installed.

The 3rd command solved the problem!
Navigator 2.7.1 is up and running: Great!

You should bring your solution to the attention of an Administrator. I think something is missing in the Navigator update process and which is amended by your solution.
