Although the questions is old, others might still looking for a solution to similar problem.

From version 5.3.2 the spyder module changes the PYTHONPATH when its start and this may cause the problem. One option is to downgrade spyder to 5.3.1 Also it is possible to unset PYTHONPATH before invoking spyder and handle it later in the code.

I had the same problem. "activate base" didn't help, but just found a solution. Certainly not quite correct, but it works. Go to folder: C:\Users\<your_login>\AppData\Roaming\Python
and rename it ("Python") on "Python_x" or something else. Spyder and Navigator starts up and so far everything works, but don't delete that folder.

In cmd try activating the base environment(or any other relevant environment) by running

activate base

and then try running spyder.
