Spyder 4.1.0 Windows 10 Spyder Start Menu Shortcut "An error ocurred while starting the kernel"

[Philip Yip]

Anaconda 20.02 installed on a clean install of Windows 10 64 Bit.

Anaconda Powershell Prompt opened.

conda update anaconda

Updates Anaconda and gives Spyder 4.1.0.

If Spyder 4.1.0 is launched through Anaconda navigator Spyder 4.1.0 appears to work okay.

However if it is launched via the Spyder shortcut on the start menu the following error displays:

The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Same here! I reverted to a previous version by

conda install spyder=4.0.1

That worked properly.

Best,

Günther

Fixed in our 4.1.1 version. Please update with

    conda install spyder=4.1.1
