FYI, I also tried creating a new env from within the new terminal & couldn't activate that also!

Does conda activate --verbose tf23 log anything? (or similar - I couldn't find the conda docs for activate but I assumed it was just --verbose)

Are you using Command Prompt in the Terminal, or PowerShell/? I wouldn't expect different shells to make a difference here, but I wanted to be sure.

@nirajkale run conda activate powershell first then restart your shell session.

Sample output:

I think you meant
conda init powershell ?
But yes, after doing this, I'm able to use the terminal with conda.
Thanks a lot :-)
