Open the Anaconda Prompt and try this:

conda update conda
conda create -n python36env python=3.6

Once the env is created:

conda activate python36env

To install packages you then run:

conda install -c anaconda spyder # or whatever package you want

Don't try and downgrade anything in your base Anaconda environment. Create a new environment with Python 3.6 and any other packages you want to work with.

If you want to use Spyder with this environment, include the spyder-kernels package and activate the environment before starting Spyder.
