Describe the bug
On Windows using:

      with:
        update-conda: true
        python-version: '3.11'
        conda-channels: 'conda-forge'

I get this error:

  D:\a\test\test>L "C:\Miniconda\condabin\..\Scripts\conda.exe"   update -y -n base -c defaults conda 
  'L' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  Error: The process 'C:\Miniconda\Library\bin\conda.bat' failed with exit code 9009

@giumas Thanks for the bug report.

I can reproduce the issue and it seems to caused by conda.bat daisy-chaining.
When the update command is called it uses C:\Miniconda\Library\bin\conda.bat (C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /D /S /C "C:\Miniconda\Library\bin\conda.bat update -y -n base -c defaults conda")

@CALL "%~dp0..\..\condabin\conda.bat" %*

which in turn calls C:\Miniconda\condabin\conda.bat

)

@IF [%1]==[deactivate] "%~dp0_conda_activate" %*

@SET CONDA_EXES="%CONDA_EXE%" %_CE_M% %_CE_CONDA%

@IF [%1]==[remove]    "%~dp0_conda_activate" reactivate
@IF [%1]==[uninstall] "%~dp0_conda_activate" reactivate

@EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%

Which then ultimately calls C:\Miniconda\Scripts\conda.exe with the arguments.

For some reason, it seems that the @CALL isn't interpreted correctly and a rogue L ends up in the final call (L "C:\Miniconda\condabin\..\Scripts\conda.exe" update -y -n base -c defaults conda ), which causes the error.
