Spyder 5 Won't Launch on Windows 10

I just migrated my Python environment to a new laptop and am having trouble launching Spider 5. I am using Python 3.7 and have tried to launch via Anaconda Navigator and the command prompt. Here is the error I get:

  1. Uninstall.
  2. Delete al cache and residual files of spyder, look in appdata folder.
  3. Reinstall.

Spyder is an amazing and agile IDE but sometimes is a pain in the ass.

(Spyder maintainer here) That error message is caused by a bug in Spyder and it'll be fixed in our next version (5.0.1), to be released shortly.

The only workaround for now is to open the Anaconda Prompt (or a system terminal like cmd.exe on Windows, Terminal on macOS, or xterm on Linux) and run there:

spyder --reset
