Answer 1

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.
