I'm trying to update my environment through Anaconda Navigator. But it fails to update some packages. As you can see, the Apply button is inactive and there is a message saying "Package is already installed" but the package is still in Updatable page. Also, Spyder tells me to update nbconvert at each start.
I tried:
But still these packages are in Updatable list.
This is the conda info output:

How can I solve this?
The solution I found to work is the alternative method found on the anaconda site.
In the terminal type:
conda deactivate
followed by:
conda update anaconda-navigator
Other solutions updated the packages but not Anaconda Navigator itself. In your case, it seems the issue might have been not deactivating first.
