Anaconda version update not working (Windows)

Just tried to update conda via Anaconda Prompt but it is not working.
After I managed to open Anaconda Prompt as administrator to mitigate:The current user does not have write permissions to a required path. problem even if I open promt from navigator-Enviroments-base root - open terminal
after command conda update conda.
So After opening Prompt as Administrator I used commands from conda cheatlist from here:https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/cheatsheet.html
I have updated Anaconda but when I ask version number it the same before updating.
I typed: conda update conda
I got:

Any ideas what I should try to properly update Anaconda and Navigator from the prompt?
Or I have to download New Version from the website and Uninstall old one?
Many Thanks!

You may want to run:
conda update conda
conda install anaconda=<version>

conda `ResolvePackageNotFound` after fresh install

I want to create a new conda environment.
However, I get the following error message:

I do not understand why the conda installer is still looking for gdal or other packages which were previously installed but I thought I had removed.

Anaconda Import Error, module just installed isn't found

Yet another Import Error issue, I know...
I have been through many posts on stackoverflow about this issue but nothing seem to help
Here is the thing, I am not a windows person, I have used anaconda on mac and Linux for quite a while but now I have to train someone on Python with windows10.
So I tried to install Anaconda, thinking oh well that should be easy...
What I did :
Install miniconda3
Create a conda environment named 'first' - activated it
Install numpy scipy and geopandas (conda install -c conda-forge geopandas)
Start IPython
Typed import geopandas and got an Import Error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'geopandas'
Note that Geopandas and all packages appear in the pip list of my environment
So then I Import sys and typed sys.path with this result (sys.executable was fine)
['',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\Scripts',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\python36.zip',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\DLLs',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32',

'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\.ipython']
I believe I should see something about my conda environment in there
c:\users\mine\miniconda3\envs\first\
What did I do wrong? How do I fix it and why do you think that happened? Should I report it to anaconda as it seems to be a pretty annoying thing.
In case that helps :

You also need to install IPython into your new environment:
conda install ipython
otherwise it uses the ipython form "outside" the environment because it is a command line app and not necessary connected to an environment.
You can check IPython you use with:
where ipython

GCE and conda envs, having problems to find packages installed with conda when running gce dev_server in windows

im using GCE with conda in windows.
I have a Virtualenv made with conda using the following command:
conda create --name myenv python=2.7.8
and then i installed a module that i want to use with my app called stripe
conda install --name myenv stripe
The problem is that when i run my GCE app launcher i get the following error:
import stripe
ImportError: No module named stripe
which is weird because i have my GCE app launcher pointing at C:/Miniconda2/envs/myenv/pythonw.exe
if i do:
activate myenv
and then i go into python and import stripe i get no problem, but when i run the launcher i get that error in the logs, this happens for all the packages i want to use.
this is what i get running conda info -a:
[myenv] C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\myenv\MyGCEApp>conda info -a
