I am trying to install anaconda on windows 11. I usually use anaconda prompt, but this time, anaconda navigator works just fine, while I can’t open the anaconda prompt (I can verify that it was all successful added to PATH and all applications do work, if I try to open them form navigator). I have tried to re-install this, and it’s not a serious issue, as I can work around it, but I am just confused why this wouldn’t work.  
Has anyone encountered something like this?
