Despite having anaconda installed on my system I am not able to add a coda environment.
Visual Studio does not seem to retrieve it since the menu where I should be able to add conda environment asks me to install either anaconda or minoconda.
From the help it mentions that I should be able to install both via the visual studio installer but in my case only miniconda is proposed and I would like to use the anaconda installed on my system.
Anyone have an idea how to tell Visual Studio where to look at ?

Did you choose to register Anaconda as the default Python environment during the installation of Anaconda? Have you checked the Python Environments window in Visual Studio 2019?
If possible, I suggest you try to reinstall Anaconda and keep the installing directory as default, relaunch VS and check again.
Feel free to contact me.
Best Regards,

I was not aware since IT service takes care of this at my offcie, just checking with anaconda support if they know about a possibility to do after installation.
I will make you know.
Kind Regards -
