I installed the anaconda distribution in a new computer (windows 10 64 bit) and I cant install python packages via the anaconda prompt.

I have re-installed anaconda and updated everyhting - aconda navigator, pip, pip3 etc. And I have tried at least 10 possible solutions online but none seems to work.

I get the following error: 

(base) C:\Windows\system32>pip install Scrapy

For every package I try to install.

Python version: Python 3.6.6 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Jun 28 2018, 11:27:44) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

(base) C:\Windows\system32>conda list anaconda$
# packages in environment at C:\Users\vinic\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
anaconda                  custom           py36h363777c_0

Edit: If I use conda install <package> it seems to work, is there any difference?

I am trying to fix this for like 3 hours now and no success. Does anyone knows what could be going on?

It is probably the firewall disabling pip. Conda and pip are different package managers so there is a difference. You might possibly have more than one python as well.

Here is a very similar problem to yours.

Try using proxy as the best answer in the linked question suggests. Disabling the firewall or allowing pip should work too.
