Good morning,

Thank you so much for contacting us, I will give you a list of possible solutions, all of them require you to launch the Anaconda Prompt, you can open it from your start menu in your case use the Mac terminal instead.
Quick starting guide:
https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/getting-started.html
From the Anaconda Prompt launch this command:
anaconda-navigator --reset
anaconda-navigator
If it still won’t open please send us a screenshot with the output of the Anaconda Prompt, then disable your internet connection and launch Navigator and tell us if it opens, we are happy to assist you.

Hi, I was using Anaconda even 2 days before and working fine.
I recently installed VS Code and set anaconda library for runtime in it.
When i tried opening Anaconda today from the Launchpad, the Anaconda-Navigator icon jumped for 3-4 times and it closed automatically. No error message is displayed.
What to do now?

Ran this command:
python -c “import pydantic; print(pydantic.version)”

the version was 2.10.6 (basically if its 2.x we should downgrade it)

i used
conda install pydantic=1.10.2
it asked for a confirmation to downgrade for which i pressed y and Enter.

Then i reset the anaconda using

anaconda-navigator --reset

which was successful

and then finally tried
anaconda-navigator

it worked.
