I have a strange error due to which I can not find a solution. Every time I run Anaconda Prompt (running Windows 10), I get the following error below. Even if I try to use conda, I get the same error (after installing the information). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Anaconda and even Python. I have never had a problem with Anaconda until today.
Thanks Bob
