Great thank you for providing me that information, now let’s try this, the problem may be caused by errors in the Spyder setting and configuration files, we can try to fix it with these instructions:

  1. Close and relaunch Spyder and see if the problem remains.

  2. On the menu, select Start, then select Reset Spyder Settings and see if the problem remains.

  3. Close Spyder and relaunch it from the Anaconda Prompt:

  4. From the Start menu, open the Anaconda Prompt.

  5. At the Anaconda Prompt, enter Spyder.

  6. See if the problem remains.

  7. Delete the directory .spyder2 and then repeat the previous steps from Step 1. Depending on your version of Windows, .spyder2 may be in C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User_Name or in C:\Users\Your_User_Name.

Note
Replace Your_User_Name, with your Windows user name as it appears in the Documents and Settings folder.

Please let us know if that fixed your problem and if you need further assistance we are here to help.

Hi Carlos,
I go the very same problem and following the seven steps above don’t help (btw the .spyder2-folder is named .spyder-py3 on my laptop.)
When I try to start Spyder from the anaconda menu it opens a terminal window and also the Spyder splash screen opens, telling me that it is loading all kinds of resources. Then everything closes and I get the lengthy error message Yangje was posting.
The same happens when I try to start Spyder from the Windows Start-Menu.
Any idea? Please let me know in case you need more information.
Thank you,
Markus
