I am trying to start Spyder from Anaconda on a Win10, but get the error below. As a result, Spyder does not launch. The same error arises if I try to launch Spyder from the terminal.

Any ideas on the cause of the error and/or how to solve it? There have been similar questions in the past but the errors were different, that's why I am reposting.

Versions: Spyder - 3.3.6 Anaconda - 1.9.7 Python - 3.7.4

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\spyder-script.py", line 10, in 
sys.exit(main())

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\app\start.py", line 186, in main
