I am working on a project using numba (or trying to at least) and it needs a numpy version <= 1.21.
So I created a new environment as the administrator under C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs. I then installed numpy as version 1.21.5 via
conda install numpy==1.21.5.
After checking the version by activating the environment (which is in the expected path), running a python shell, importing numpy through import numpy as np and checking np.__version__=='1.21.5' (which evaluates to True) I switched back to cmd but this time not as the administrator.
I again activated the same environment, started python, imported numpy and suddenly got np.__version__=='1.22.4'.
This even means that import numba works as the administrator, yet the same command throws an ImportError: Numba needs NumPy 1.21 or less when run 'normally'.
I have a second, working environment in the same directory that does have this problem too yet it is telling me numpy version 1.22.3 as administrator and version 1.22.4 as a normal user and it does not matter much because I don't need numba in it.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
