My anaconda navigator takes 2-3 minutes to start...Did anyone else notice this problem? I have proxy setting set correctly and I can use conda install with no problem...

I had the same problem. My issue was the ssl verification as I assume my workplace has done something with Firewall or etc. So I took the following two steps to fix it: - open command prompt (cmd.exe) - You can see the list of conda settings: conda config --show - Disable the ssl verification: conda config --set ssl_verify False

Now launch the Anaconda. If it takes time, wait! It will finally load. - Go to File->Preferences (shortkey: Ctrl+P) - Make sure to uncheck the "Enable SSL verification". (attached image) - Don't forget to click on the Apply button.enter image description here

That made the trick and Anaconda loads very fast!
