Anaconda 4.6.11: Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has not been activated

Although I have been using Anaconda for some time, the latest version has introduced some interesting behavior that I had not experienced.

1. First, there is a warning showing up.

   WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

   I have heard that this will be removed in next version, but if someone can confirm this, that would be great!

2. Secondly, and most importantly, in previous versions, I could type 'python' into the command line in order to get the python interpreter. However, after going to this anaconda version installation, the following warning has been popping up:

   Warning:
   This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has
   not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this environment
   please see https://conda.io/activation

   I have looked through the website, yet nothing has worked for me. When I type in 'conda activate' and then run 'python', there is no warning; however, I did not have to do that in the past.

NOTE: I installed anaconda for all users. The path and variables are below. My user variables have nothing related to anaconda as it was a system installation.

Any suggestions?
Thank you, and please let me know if you need any clarification!
