Starting from conda environment as following:

(base) C:\Users\NAME\anaconda3>conda info -e
#conda environments:
base                  *  C:\Users\NAME\anaconda3

I used the following code to create a new anaconda environment,

(base) C:\Windows\System32>conda create -n my_env1 anaconda

Then I got

(base) C:\Users\NAME\anaconda3>conda info -e
#conda environments:
                         C:\Users\NAME\anaconda3
base                  *  C:\Users\NAME\anaconda3\envs\my_env1

Note that the location of base environment moved, and the previous base environment doesn't have any name anymore.

If I look up the information of new environment, its name is base, not my_env1. Why is that? How to fix this?

(base) C:\Windows\System32>conda activate my_env1
(my_env1) C:\Windows\System32>conda info

  • Is this a bug, as everything else works fine, except that "active environment" tag is "base" in my_env1 environment? – Leon Jan 10 '23 at 14:42
  • As per duplicate, remove `conda` from the other environment. The `conda` package should only be installed in the **base**. – merv Jan 10 '23 at 17:38
