@sweller, thank you for responding! I started to implement your suggestion, and Anaconda popped up a message stating there was a newer version, should I install? Of course, yes. That installation looked like the others. Resolving errors, deprecated this, and lines and lines of output. After a few hours I hit Ctrl-C.
I am really struggling with this environment, and I got busy on other things that programming. I am thinking to delete Anacanda and go for a fresh install. My environment in Windows 10, on 64-bit OS. Are there any other users experiencing this, or am I unique?
