Anaconda Spyder can't show the program window on windows 8 - python

My system is windows 8, and I download Anaconda python 3.4 from the official website. The spyder has been all well until yesterday, I can open the spyder, and the icon shows on my taskbar, but no matter how I click the icon, the program window doesn't show up on the screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Anaconda, but still can't fix it. Any suggestion?
By the way, I usually open spyder from "Anaconda/Scripts/spyder.exe", is that a problem?

I ran into the same problem after installing Spyder for Python 2.7 with an existing installation of Spyder running on Python 3.5. What worked for me was the following: I closed all running Spyder applications, ran the "Reset Spyder Settings" shortcut for Anaconda2, and voila, spyder2 started displaying properly after running.

spyder --reset from the command line works.

For newbies like me, you got to use Anaconda prompt (windows cmd terminal didn't work for me) took a few mins to figure out to use Anaconda prompt to run spyder --reset command.

Jupyter Notebook and Anaconda Navigator don't open on Windows

I work with Jupyter Notebook through Anaconda on Windows 10, and I've never had any problems. However recently Anaconda Navigator 2020.5 started not opening and disappeared from my apps list. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I followed all the steps and the installation went perfectly and Anaconda Navigator opened again, but Jupyter Notebook doesn't open the browser. I updated Anaconda, restarted the app and then Anaconda Navigator stopped working again. I tried one more reinstall and the problem was repeated, and now I can't access Jupyter Notebook anymore and I'm afraid of losing all my codes. I have no idea what's going wrong, can someone help me for God's sake. I also got two versions of Python installed, which is Python 3.8 and 3.9

Anaconda Installer on Windows 10 doesn't result in proper way (no Navigator, no Prompt), how to fix it?

I installed it on Windows 10 64x - from Anaconda site. It installs to C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 and the folder is like:
When I run _conda.exe, the prompt window appears and closes in a second. That's all.
I don't see no Navigator, nor Prompt. I have rebooted the PC.
What's the matter and how can I fix this problem?
You do not need to run that. Just use conda in shell.

How to open the Anaconda Navigator with Windows 10

I wanted to get my hands on the Anaconda Navigator. Recently on a normal PC I opened it and used it as if I'd been using it my whole life, the thing is that that PC uses Windows 7.
My laptop, however, has Windows 10 and it does not work. Anaconda installed after one hour and the navigator does not appear. I don't know if it's the whole of Windows 10 or just my machine, but it seems to me that the navigator should be here somewhere. The problem lies in that the 'Start' option for Windows 10 does not allow a user to ACTUALLY search for files ON their computer (total bummer since it makes everything difficult), so only the anaconda prompt and some "web searches" appear. Completely useless whatsoever.
I did try using the anaconda prompt with the help of a previously posted question (Anaconda Installed but Cannot Launch Navigator) with an identical problem to mine, where some of you mentioned that I should try the command 'anaconda-navigator', 'anaconda-navigator as', 'anaconda navigator', amongst other commands. None of which worked in any possible way. The commands were ignored since they just invoked errors that I do not know of.
Does anyone know what I should do/try, and if possible, leaving the option of reinstalling Anaconda all over as the last option? Thank you guys, would really help.
Ps: I downloaded the latest version for 64-bit Windows from the official page of Anaconda
Open the terminal (win+r and write cmd then press enter)
Call conda info (conda should be installed.)
One of the response fields should be base environment : followed by a directory.
In that directory there should be a Scripts folder containing the anaconda-navigator application. Hit it and wait patiently while it spins up. Navigator should open. You can point shortcuts here and so on.
I had a similar problem, but it cleared up after running Spyder once.

Anaconda installed but can't launch Navigator in Window 10

I installed Anaconda on my Dell laptop. I am able to use anaconda promt but unable to launch anaconda-navigator.
I tried it launching via icon, command line. It shows anaconda icon with Initializing message on it and then disappears.
I tried launching it via command promt with admin privilege. It opened and then disappeared in a few seconds.
No error comes on screen.
I searched for different solutions on Github and stack overflow but nothing worked.
Check it in following images.
checking everything is up to date or not
launched anaconda
disappeared
you can reinstall anaconda on your machine because any file missing then happened and Anaconda prompt into you can try below command.
jupyter notebook

IPython won't launch after install

Just got a fresh 64bit box running windows vista, installed Python 2.7.3 and IPython 0.12.1, but IPython didn't seem to create any program folders.
Even if I run the .exe file from C:\Python27\Scripts, the terminal just flashes for a moment.
Any thoughts?
It sounds like a common problem - you need to install distribute before installing IPython. We don't know how to add it to the start menu without that.
Usually when there is an error, it shows error message and get out. That is why you are seeing the flash.
Run the executable from command line and you can check out what that error is.
