I have the same issue, did you figure out how to fix it considering that this is a post from like 3 years ago

I had the same issue when following the instructions to use a Spotlight search to launch navigator. However, I'd installed Anaconda just for myself so I went to the Applications subfolder in my home folder and then double clicked Anaconda-Navigator.app to launch and it worked fine.
