"Exit code: 1" in anaconda navigator after reinstalling

[thonpy]

Actual Behavior

After reinstalling Anaconda, I get the error message "Exit code: 1" when I start apps using the Anaconda Navigator. e.g. "jupyter notebook" or "CMD.exe"

Screenshot

When I use the CMD (base) via Env. or start from the windows start bar, it works. Jupyter Notebook (Anaconda3) also runs when I start it directly from the start bar.

I only get the error message in the Anaconda navigator. I uninstalled Visual Studio. Still does not work.

I face the exact same issue.

[gorrymc]

Same problem here. Try this

registry editor (regedit) and go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

delete autorun

fixed both cmd.exe and anaconda navigator launching

[hu-stefan]

sadly there is no key to delete :/

[gorrymc]

After over a week trying to solve this I concluded that the cmd.exe failure to start is most likely the problem for Anaconda Navigator not launching anything on line (Jupyter, Spyder, RStudio failed) but console and cmd open). Do a web search for
"Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor". There are several
comments with the same problem and different solutions. There is also
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

I DID NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THIS REGISTRY KEY
since I had the "command processor/autorun" file. If you can, check this out. It is up to your skills to see if it will work.

[elahe-badali]

Having same issue, Fixed by @gorrymc solution. thank you.

[papewade]

Hello,

I have the same problem but like @hu-stefan , I cannot find the folder Command Processor . Do you have any other solution? thank

[papewade]

Hi @elahe-badali

I found the file. Thank you. now I ask what should I delete?

[elahe-badali]

@papewade
You should delete Autorun file. but as i see there is no file with this name. I had a file with a icon like "(Default)" and named "Autorun". After i deleted it, the apps lunch with no error.

[gorrymc]

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor

Check each key and see if the autorun is turned off (turned off means remove any value and leave BLANK)

Try this.
CURRENT_USER worked for me and enabled cmd to open and Anaconda to start.

[JohannesBm]

For me deleting autorun worked. Ty a lot! @elahe-badali

[QuentinDrvll]

@gorrymc
I have exactky the same problem as @thonpy and on the 2 keys I do not have an autorun file to delete...
Must exist another way !

[AzamGhesmati]

hello folks
I have same issue, but there is no autorun in the mentioned path, is there another solution?

[mukesssh]

Hello everyone
I have the same issue
And interesting enough I have only default file in the key
the other key too doesn't have autorun file

[taboosha11]

Hello Everyone,
I am also facing the same issue.
There is no autorun file.
Now what to do?

HELP PLEASE

[carlosrmz16]

Hi Everyone, I faced the Exit code: 1, and looked on the registry for autorun in these two locations unsuccessfully.

• Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
• Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor

I finally solved adding C:\Windows\system32 to the system variables Path

[rsg-iik]

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
For me deleting autorun worked as well

Thank you @[gorrymc]

[yao-1115]

Same problem here. Try this

registry editor (regedit) and go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

delete autorun

fixed both cmd.exe and anaconda navigator launching

[yao-1115]

nice one thankyou very much

[hipiyaya]

Thanks. Exit code:1 is finally fixed. I did not have the autorun with Command, but an error with C:\Windows\system32 in the environment path. ...

[BAIZ1D]

FOR THOSE WHO CANT FIND THE 'Command Processor' and cant delete the autorun and/or don't have autorun

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

1. From the Desktop right-click My Computer and click Properties. If you don't have a My Computer icon on your desktop, click Start, right-click the My Computer option in the Start menu, and select Properties.
2. In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button below.
4. In the Environment Variables window, highlight the PATH variable in the System Variable section and click the Edit button. Add the following line there-

C:\Windows\System32

and move it to the top of the list by the Move Up button on the side and press okay.
5. Similarly, in the Environment Variables window, highlight the Path variable in the User Variables section and click the Edit button. Add the following line there-

C:\Windows\System32

and press okay.
6. Finally restart your computer.

Hopefully, it'd work cheers

[HT725]

@BAIZ1D
It worked.
Thanks a lot !

[mukesssh]

Adding C:\Windows\system32 to system path variables worked for me too.
Some users have already commented above but I didn't knew how to add new value in path variable. Then finally learned from a Youtube video that adding a semicolon on the existing value will open a new window and then you can add a new value in path variable.

[SunnyChan0301]

@BAIZ1D

Your method work for me, thanks a lot!

[Sand0931]

I don't have Command processor and in the workstation properties, there is no Advanced tab

[ShahzilGul]

Adding C:\Windows\system32 to system path variables worked for me.
Thank you, guys! :)

For those who are unable to find autorun, just go in Registry Editor then press "ctrl + f" and enter autorun. You'll find it really easily :)

C:\Windows\system32

Thanks for the Information, more power to you

This is awesome :)
The issue of "Exit Code : 1" is solved for me even without opening the Registry Editor and find something and delete it...
This way is useful to me
May this helpful to some one trust this approch.

Just Edit the Path Variable in "User and System Variables" and in each of them just add "New" and type "C:\Windows\System32"

[rogicka]

If you are unable to find autorun file. then just add C:\Windows\System32 as a path into your Environment Variables.

I Just want to put simplier.
Enter in your powershell or Cmd - write "regedit" - you´ll enter in Registry Editor - then you´ll follow this path: "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" - delete the 'autorun'
