Taking forever and stuck tensorflow installation: Anaconda navigator

Question

I am totally new to Anaconda. I go to 'uninstalled' page of anaconda navigator and search for tensorflow. I find it, click it and press apply button to install it. A pop up comes which says 'solving packet specifications' and it just stays like that. I do not know what to do.

I did that 'conda create -n tf tensorflow' stuff but it rather created a new environment rather than tensorflow being installed in the base environment. If I open Jupyter from this new environment, I am, obviously, forced to install every small library like matplotlib,etc.

So, I am back to the method of going to 'uninstalled' page in the 'base' environment and trying to install tensorflow from here but the abovementioned problem comes up. I am stuck in this loop. Please anyone suggest.
