As stated in the documentation of Spyder  you need to install PyQt5 first     Open a Command Prompt as Administrator  then run   pip install pyqt5 pip install spyder   Then you can find the spyder3 exe in the Python3 6 Scripts folder  You can also make a shortcut to it  No need for Anaconda

User · Answer

Install Ananconda packages and within that launch spyder 3 for first time  Then by second time you just click on spyder under anaconda in all programs

User · Answer

Try the command spyder3 If you check the scripts folder you ll find spyder3 exe
