I just installed anaconda ver5.3 which uses python v3.7
I ran the command;
conda update anaconda
The command hangs there forever. There is no error message. No hint what is wrong. Has anyone encountered similar problems? How did you solve it?
I am using Windows 10 and was previously using anaconda ver5.2 which uses python v3.6.
Try running
conda update anaconda --verbose
to get some insight. Adding --verbose multiple times increases logging to INFO, DEBUG and then TRACE level.
I think this could solve your problem to update anaconda, and yes it seems like a fairly common issue:
1) install the latest miniconda3 from here
2) make sure you run anaconda prompt as admin
3) update to latest version of conda
conda update conda
4) install anaconda
conda install anaconda
5) install navigator
conda install anaconda-navigator
6) verify conda is installed and check package number
conda info

I encountered exactly the same problem on Windows 10.
This problem has been fixed with the latest anaconda release ver5.3.1. You are using ver5.3. Please use the latest version. It should solve your problem.
