Navigator needing to be force quit

Hi all!
I’m new to Anaconda Navigator, as I just downloaded it today, but I was having trouble opening Spyder through it. I thought maybe it was because my laptop needed updated, so I updated it, but since then, I haven’t been able to open Navigator. It just keeps buffering until I have to force quit and I’m not sure how to fix this. I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling through the terminal but that didn’t seem to help.

I would suggest that you try resetting the Spyder settings to see if that helps.

We have documented the steps for doing that here:
Troubleshooting — Anaconda documentation.

This link has some additional troubleshooting tips for the installation of Spyder:
