I'm new to coding and decided to install Anaconda because I heard it was the most practical platform for beginners.

The problem is, every time I try opening it, it literally takes at least 15 minutes to boot up while showing me "Updating metadata..." and subsequently showing me "Updating repodata..." statements.

Would any of you know how to fix or go around this issue?

I'm using a macbook air that has 8gb of RAM and an i5 processor, if that helps.

I started Anaconda Navigator with "Run as Administrator" privileges on my Windows machine, and it worked like a charm. Though it did ask me for Admin credentials for a couple of times while loading different scripts, but the response was <1 min, compared to 6 - 8 mins. earlier.

Search for Anaconda through desktop search or go to Cortana tool on the desktop toolbar and type Anaconda On the Anaconda icon that shows up, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" Provide Admin credentials when prompted This should hopefully work for Windows 10 users.
