My original answer got flagged as duplicate because I answered a similar question with the same answer, I wasn’t aware that this is not allowed. I have marked my other response as a duplicate. Hopefully, this stays up!

I almost spent two days running in circles trying all the solutions I could find on the Internet, but here is what worked for me.

So, CondaHTTPError aka SSL module is not available error is caused by the missing/misplacement of libcrypto file in anaconda3/DLLs folder:

Tl;dr:

From anaconda3\Library\bin copy below files and paste them in anaconda3/DLLs:

-   libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
-   libssl-1_1-x64.dll

Detailed answer:

  1. Uninstall any Python versions you have (e.g. Python 3.7 or Python 3.8)

    go to Control Panel–> Program and Features–> Select Python–>

uninstall

  1. Uninstall any Anaconda versions you might have (e.g. Anaconda or miniConda)
    For Anaconda:

    go to Control Panel–> Program and Features–> Select Anaconda–>uninstall

    For miniConda

    go to Control Panel–> Program and Features–> Select miniconda–> uninstall

  2. Delete any leftover Environment variables

    go to Control Panel–> System–> Advanced System settings (on left side)–> in System Properties click on Environment Variables button–> in User Variable select Path and click the Edit button–> delete any path related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python.

    E.g.
C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\Anaconda\...
C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\miniconda\...

    b. If you don’t see any paths related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python; you are good to go.

  3. Reboot your machine

  4. Download the latest version of Anaconda

  5. Run the Installer; keep all the default settings

  6. Go to your anaconda3/library/bin folder:

    E.g.C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin

  7. Copy these files:

    libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll

    libssl-1_1-x64.dll

  8. paste these in anaconda3/DLLs folder:

  9. Reopen the Anaconda Prompt and test with any command that requires an Internet connection.
    E.g.
    conda update conda
    Or with
    conda update --all
