How do I go about updating anaconda? ---

Hello, Can you please try updating anaconda navigator from a Anaconda command window prompt as follows: conda update anaconda-navigator If this fails, you should get additional error output. Please attach it below, if it fails this way. Stephen Weller Anaconda Support Engineer ---

To **fix** the **Cannot update Anaconda Navigator, UnsatisfiableError** error, use the **“conda update anaconda-navigator”** command or use the **“conda install anaconda=custom”** command to be able to update anaconda-navigator. The error occurs when you try to **[update Anaconda Navigator](https://appdividend.com/2022/01/19/how-to-update-anaconda-upgrade-anaconda-navigator/) due to conflicting dependencies between the packages that need to be updated and the current packages installed in the system.** ---

Hi Redatfsu, pls try to run ‘Anaconda Prompt’ in **admin** mode. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/3/3b6fa3d09f0e0b14770f22d4fab5634057cf1bb9.png) thx. ---

Hi! I’m new here and unfortunately I’m also having problems updating Anaconda Navigator on Windows. I downloaded it today and was immediately asked to update from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2. I haven’t done any work in Anaconda yet, so I won’t lose anything if you recommend I deinstall everything. Anyhow, here is what I have done: - Tried “conda update anaconda-navigator" through Anaconda Prompt - Tried “conda update anaconda-navigator" through Anaconda Prompt as Admin - Tried conda install anaconda=custom through Anaconda Prompt as Admin The error messages look like this:: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/7/77ee294e5b11dca9ea70609d7978e6608079a07b.png) ---

I know it was a few months ago but I had exactly the same problem. Solved it by opening an admin prompt and: conda update --all conda update anaconda-navigator It looks like conda needs to update itself first 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ ---

I found a solution. After running `conda clean -p` I could run the updates. I had the same issues when trying to install libraries. ---

Also had trouble getting Anaconda updater working on a Windows 11 pro, on intel ultra 9 with 64Gb memory. Followed the administrator command line advice as pictured here, and got this success: ![administrator conda update AnaconNav 1st try](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/9/90abfcea7cee80e105ed5717283db1ef7741c748.png) ---

Had to try the conda cache memory scrub and conda update all noted above. Administrative anaconda command line entries shown below. both successful on windows 11 pro, intel ultra 9, lots of memory. Note the update all did 13 pages worth of updates and new files added. I’m really grateful for all the experience that went into making those new files that play better with the world of 2025. ![administrtr conda clean-p and updat all 1st-try 2nd steps](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/9/969cc63bd5eabca3cca427d6290588dba4c675d6.png) Note I tried another Navigator update after that, just as pictured in the prior post, and it quickly told me everything was already updated. All good and behaving sanely. ---

Thank you everyone for input on how to get Anaconda updated on the admin command line. I followed the suggestions above, and it is still updating, downloading the updates.
