Anaconda navigator VERY slow

Question

My anaconda navigator takes 2-3 minutes to start...Did anyone else notice this problem? I have proxy setting set correctly and I can use conda install with no problem...

Answer 1

After encountering the same issue (stucking at loading apps for 6 min), I tried the previous which didn't work. Furthermore, I have also tried to reinstall anaconda without any success.

After a while I tried to tape:"jupyter lab" (or jupyter notebook) on ANACONDA PROMPT. It works for me, now I do not need to start anaconda navigator and then going to jupyter lab or notebook.

Hope it will be helpful for some of you.

Answer 2

I have one shortcut here, Go to search bar and type jupyter or if you want spyder Type spyder , so you can directly open it. No need to start anaconda

Here I saw

*This worked like magic especially if you are using a machine with vpn enabled & proxy If you know the specific app you are running e.g R, Jupyter e.t.c just simply:

1. Go to the Windows search button
2. Type the name e.g Jupyter
   3. Click on it and it opens the notepad!

Answer 4

I started Anaconda Navigator with "Run as Administrator" privileges on my Windows machine, and it worked like a charm. Though it did ask me for Admin credentials for a couple of times while loading different scripts, but the response was <1 min, compared to 6 - 8 mins. earlier.

1. Search for Anaconda through desktop search or go to Cortana tool on the desktop toolbar and type Anaconda
2. On the Anaconda icon that shows up, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator"
3. Provide Admin credentials when prompted

This should hopefully work for Windows 10 users.

Answer 5

I as well had problem of Anaconda Navigator starting after long time ( 5-10 mins) on my Windows 10 machine. After defining proxy settings in .condarc file and OS ENV variable, it reduced to 1-1.5 min. See if it works for you :).

Changes in .condarc file

proxy_servers: 
        http: http://yourhttpproxy:port
        https: https://yourhttpsproxy:port

---

Updating OS ENV variable like:

HTTP_PROXY= http://yourhttpproxy:port 
HTTPS_PROXY = https://yourhttpsproxy:port

I had the same problem. My issue was the ssl verification as I assume my workplace has done something with Firewall or etc. So I took the following two steps to fix it: - open command prompt (cmd.exe) - You can see the list of conda settings: conda config --show - Disable the ssl verification: conda config --set ssl_verify False

Now launch the Anaconda. If it takes time, wait! It will finally load. - Go to File->Preferences (shortkey: Ctrl+P) - Make sure to uncheck the "Enable SSL verification". (attached image) - Don't forget to click on the Apply button.enter image description here

That made the trick and Anaconda loads very fast!
