title: Anaconda wouldn't start. OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
body: <p>Anaconda Navigator wouldn't start. So I opened Anaconda Prompt and type 'conda info' and some other conda commands. But most of the time, I get " OSError: [Error 9] Bad file descriptor " I couldn't find this issue anywhere related with Anaconda. What might cause this issue and how can I fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Error is as below:</p>
  
  <p>(base) C:\Users\soe>conda info</p>
