Challenged to update ANACONDA pkg in Base

Folks
Can someone help me find a way to get my BASE environment updated to ANACONDA package leve 2023.03 ?

Windows 10 Env

Base Inventory:
(base) PS C:\Windows\system32> conda info
active environment : base
active env location : C:\apps\anaconda3
shell level : 1
user config file : C:\Users\Owner.condarc
populated config files : C:\Users\Owner.condarc
conda version : 22.9.0
conda-build version : 3.24.0
python version : 3.9.15.final.0
virtual packages : __cuda=11.2=0
__win=0=0
__archspec=1=x86_64
base environment : C:\apps\anaconda3 (writable)

Clearly, the ANACONDA package release is way behind – but, at least CONDA is up to date now

(base) PS C:\Windows\system32> conda list anaconda

packages in environment at C:\apps\anaconda3:

Name Version Build Channel

_anaconda_depends 2021.11 py39_0
anaconda custom py39_1
anaconda-client 1.11.2 py39haa95532_0
anaconda-navigator 2.4.0 py39haa95532_0
anaconda-project 0.11.1 py39haa95532_0

I was finally able to successfully update CONDA in my BASE environment with the following command: conda update -n base -c defaults conda --reodata-fn=repodata.json

However; I’m failing on attempt to update ANACONDA to a future release beyond my old 2021.11 release.

Commands attempted and failing:
conda install anaconda=2023.03
conda install anaconda=2022.10 -n base -c defaults --reodata-fn=repodata.json --force-reinstall

The failures find a LOT of package conflicts in BASE:
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful initial attempt using frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
