[Python] Conda Unable to create process using ... Quotation marks missing around python path

I am running windows 10 and had a perfectly functioning miniconda installation. Then I had to update C++ to above 14.o in order to run coqui/XTTS-v2 LLM.

There is a Space in my USER NAME which was no problem before.

now when I run conda I get:

C:\Users\USER NAME\Repos\Transcription>conda
Unable to create process using 'C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\miniconda3\python.exe "C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\miniconda3\Scripts\conda-script.py" '


What works is:

"C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\miniconda3\python.exe" "C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\miniconda3\Scripts\conda-script.py" '


But running any command after like activate will lead to more errors, as conda inherently can not call python.

where python returns C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\miniconda3\python.exe just like it should.

So how do I give miniconda my python location with Quotes? Or is there another solution?

Additional information: I followed this guide and did the C++ upgrade through visual Studio: https://zs.fyi/archives/python-vc-14-0-error.html

Anyhow
