Anaconda Navigator Updater UnsatisfiableError

Trying to update anaconda but keep getting UnsatisfiableError when I do it through the GUI. I've tried launching the Navigator as an admin on Win10. I've searched the internet but no solution works.

I've also tried (with admin privileges prompt) conda update -n base -c defaults conda as suggested after running conda update conda both of which say All requested packages already installed and ==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==. It's like trying to mock me and such.

I've also tried to disable ssl_verify by setting it to false in condarc. No difference in any of the above methods.

Trying to update from 1.9.2 to 1.9.6.

If I were to install the latest version of anaconda, would that be the same as updating it? Or will I lose my manually installed packages and environments?

I believe I had the same problem. The solution for me was to run: conda install anaconda=custom before updating the Navigator.

For the explanation, please see:
