Anaconda only comes with anaconda prompt - windows-10

I used to have the whole anaconda package on my Windows 10 computer (an HP Envy) until recently, Windows 10 updated and the update caused problems so I restored the previous version of windows (keep in mind, I installed Anaconda about 3 updates ago so restoring should not have caused a problem). A few days later, I tried to use Jupyter but "jupyter notebook" no longer launched Jupyter when typed into PowerShell. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with all different preferences (i.e. me only, all users, PATH, no PATH, etc.) but it still installs as only the anaconda prompt. When I type conda --version in PowerShell, my error says "The term conda is not recognized" ...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need to use Jupyter. Thanks!

Python, Anaconda & PyCharm multiple versions of Python3

I just installed Anaconda3-2019-10 on my MacBook.
I tried to make sure that my previous Python 3 version was totally uninstalled / removed from my system. Typing python3to the terminal didn´t work anymore.
After installing Anaconda and PyCharm (pycharm-community-anaconda-2019.3.3) I started a new Project to test everything. For that I selected to create a new Conda environment:
After I created the process I checked the Preferences and the "Project Interpreter". This is what I found:
I expected to find two interpreters 1.) my 3.7 Python version and 2.) the Conda environment just created.
Does finding 3 versions mean that I didn´t correctly deinstall Python3 before installing anaconda or is there anything that I don´t understand here?
Do I need both versions?
If not is there a safe way to remove one of them?
For removing Python3 from my system I did almost everythin suggested in numerous posts in Stackoverflow.
Upon creating a venv(virtual environment) you no longer need to worry about the existing interpreter. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html this might be of help.

Spyder not launching in python 3.7

Several days ago, Spyder stopped running. I tried almost everything on forums. I desinstalled it and downloaded last version of anaconda package, but to no avail.
This is what the anaconda prompt shows me
As I said, I tried uploading qt, PySide, and even tried to locate .spyder2 to erase it as is said in Anaconda webpage.
I really don't know what else to try
EDIT: Don't know if you need versions of anything, because as I said, it is the standard last version package available in Anaconda.
EDIT2: I'm using Windows 10

installing packages in Anaconda stopped

i have been using Anaconda for installing python packages and so far it worked just fine.
Since today it doesn't ... I am able to select the package i want, in my case "python-docx", run apply, and anaconda finds the package. I am also able to start the installtion and it does something (at least the processing bar keeps running), but after a view minutes it stopps. But nothing has happened. The package is still marked as not installed and wound't work in the code.
I tried it with different packages, but it is always the same.
I also tried to install the package using the conda comment in the cmd-box but here i end up with the error "conda comment hast not been found".
Does anyone know what i can do ?

Jupyter Notebook's RISE Missing Slideshow Button

I followed the instructions on installing RISE for Jupyter notebook with Anaconda (conda) but the "Enter/Exit RISE Slideshow" button never showed in the toolbar.
I followed the recommendations on solving the problem in the two closed RISE issues (#137, #275), but with no luck. I updated Jupyter to the latest version, started a new notebook, hard refreshed the browser page, reinstalled Rise and still no button.
I also saw this SO question, which is different from my case since I never saw the button, and I do not have nbextensions to begin with. Still, their recommendation did not work.
For practical reasons, I cannot have a separate environment just for RISE and presentation making.
I'm having the same problem on two machines, with different operating systems and different Conda packages, so it may be a RISE package problem. On one of the machines, I have:
Google Chrome 66.0.3359.117 (64-bit)
conda 4.5.1 with python 3.6.4
jupyter 1.0.0
jupyter_core 4.3.0
notebook 5.0.0
rise 5.2.0 py36_0 damianavila82
MacOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
My conda packages seem to be in good shape and without missing dependencies too.
$ jupyter nbextension list
Known nbextensions:
config dir: /Users/welshamy/Applications/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/nbconfig
notebook section
jupyter-js-widgets/extension enabled
- Validating: OK
rise/main enabled
- Validating: OK
This is a package compatibility issue. I solved the problem by doing the following:
Upgrade conda packages from the command line:
$ conda update --all
Restart jupyter-notebook session.
Restart web browser.
Open a new notebook.
Done.
Just restart the browser
if not create a new notebook

Anaconda menu failed

I tried downloading/installing Versions 3.4, then 3.6 of Anaconda on Windows 10. Each time. I got an error message that the Anaconda menu filed to load.
I did a re-try, then even tried to IGNORE, but then I got another message that the directories had failed to load. Are these versions meant for Windows 10?
Thanks - Steve
This has come up quite a bit. It should be fixed in Anaconda4.3.1. It often happens when installing to all user areas and if you have spaces or unicode characters in the username. It is best to install to your user directory. Even though it gives an error Anaconda is still installed, it just didn't make the Start Menu items. You can install them yourself:
conda install -f console_shortcut ipython ipython-qtconsole anaconda-navigator spyder jupyter
