#Can spyder 3 pro run on windows 10 install

starting Ipython console from the windows start menu: this works, even if I have two windows 'IPython QT Console' (a dos style box) with 3 warnings, and 'Jupyter QtConsole' with the working python console.

Starting Spyder (light): no splash screen, no warnings or alarm, but also no result.

I unloaded it, as you never know there could be a naming conflict.

I have a screen calibration tool, which is also called spyder 3.

I tried the proposed 'python spyder -reset': no solution.

(and computer completely cleaned to remove all hidden traces of anaconda.)

Running Spyder 3 via anaconda works, but anaconda unfortunately caused other issues, so was removed again.

The last one mentioned before the splash screen disappears, is 'loading Ipython console'.ДЄgain, three processes 'pythonw.exe (32 bit)' are running, but no spyder 3. At the bottom, I can see some modules/ parts are loaded.

If I click ok, the splash screen appears again.

additional warning srceen appears, telling me that spyder crashed during the last session and asking to do a 'python spyder -reset'.

If I try to start Spyder 3 a second time, the following happens: The windows task manager shows 3 processes with the name 'pythonw.exe (32 bit)' running. The splash screen disappears again, but spyder 3 does not start. When I select spyder in the windows start menu, the splash screen appears (allowing to confirm it is indeed spyder 3 and not the old one that is starting). A lot of packages are also upgraded, some other packages removed. (potentially a small error on the website?) This results in an error, saying that -update does not exist.

#Can spyder 3 pro run on windows 10 install

use the way mentioned on the spyder website, being 'pip install -update spyder'.

However, it comes with an older Spyder release (version 2.?).
