Startmenu Windows Anconda Prompt & Powershell Prompt are broken after installing Miniconda or Miniforge 3 #531

Open Au2mater opened 10 months ago

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

Issue

When installing Miniconda 3 or Miniforge 3 on Windows 'Anaconda Prompt' and 'Anaconda Powershell Prompt' launchers are broken. Launching them does NOT successfully activate the base environment. This is because, the 'Target' property of the command prompt shortcuts points to %LOCALAPPDATA%/Anaconda3/... rather than %LOCALAPPDATA%/Miniconda3/... and %LOCALAPPDATA%/miniforge-pypy3/... Same issue applies to the Jupyter Notebooks and Spyder Start menu shortcuts when installing Miniconda3 To fix it the user has to manually edit the shortcuts to point at the correct installation path for the conda implementation.
