One mistake I was making was saving the file as a.condarc or b.condarc.

Save it only as .condarc and paste the following code in the file and save the file in your home directory. Make necessary changes to hostname, user etc.

channels:
- defaults

show_channel_urls: True
allow_other_channels: True

proxy_servers:
    http: http://user:pass@hostname:port
    https: http://user:pass@hostname:port


ssl_verify: False

Or you can use the command line below from version 4 4 x   conda config --set proxy servers http http   id pw address port conda config --set proxy servers https https   id pw address port

You can configure a proxy with conda by adding it to the  condarc  like  proxy servers      http  http   user pass corp com 8080     https  https   user pass corp com 8080   Then in cmd Anaconda Power Prompt  base  PS C  Users user  run   conda update -n root conda

The best way I settled with is to set proxy environment variables right before using conda or pip install update commands  Simply run   set HTTP PROXY http   username password proxy url port   For example  your actual command could be like  set HTTP PROXY http   yourname your password proxy your company com 8080   If your company uses https proxy  then also  set HTTPS PROXY https   username password proxy url port   Once you exit Anaconda prompt then this setting is gone  so your username password won t be saved after the session   I didn t choose other methods mentioned in Anaconda documentation or some other sources  because they all require hardcoding of username password into   Windows environment variables  also this requires restart of Anaconda prompt for the first time  Conda  condarc or  netrc configuration files  also this won t work for PIP  A batch script file loaded while starting Anaconda prompt  also this might require configuring the path    All of these are unsafe and will require constant update later  And if you forget where to update  More troubleshooting will come your way
