I am trying to create a new environment in miniconda using the following
(base) C:\Users\User>conda create -n myenv python=3.10
But am getting the following error report:

I have recently installed miniconda but thought I would see if there is any updates that are causing the issues so I ran
(base) C:\Users\User>conda update conda
And got a similar error:

I am an R user so not familiar with Python but to me, this suggests that there is something wrong with my install.
