I see that you used pip to update  This is strongly discouraged  at least in Spyder 3   The Spyder update notices I receive have always included the following     IMPORTANT NOTE  It seems that you are using Spyder with Anaconda Minconda  Please don t use pip to update it as that will probably break your installation  Instead please wait until new conda packages are available and use conda to perform the update

Using pip directly  WARNING  This will break your Anaconda Installation as described by Spyder maintainer in the comments below  you can try this solution only if the solution mentioned above that use Conda do not work  pip install --upgrade spyder  You might get an error once launching the new Spyder  quot nbconvert  gt   4 0  None  NOK  quot   which will require you to resinstall configparser   conda uninstall configparser conda install configparser  You should now have a fresh and up to date installation of Spyder

To expand on juanpa arrivillaga s comment  If you want to update Spyder in the root environment  then conda update spyder works for me  If you want to update Spyder for a virtual environment you have created  e g   for a different version of Python   then conda update -n  ENV NAME spyder where  ENV NAME is your environment name  EDIT  In case conda update spyder isn t working  this post indicates you might need to run conda update anaconda before updating spyder  Also note that you can specify an exact spyder version if you want
