It seems I copy a existed project and I can be open, however，after closimng， when reopen it ，the spyder crashed(the windows can be show and after seconds it disappears).

Thank you again,I understand why I was strictly operating, but wasn’t able to successfully switch python versions, and it boils down to poor compatibility support for anaconda.

Hey @yanyu2015 and @steff456, this problem is a duplicate of issue #15340. A fix for it was included in our 5.2.0 version, released a few days ago.

You can start using that version right now (instead of waiting to be available in Anaconda) by closing Spyder and running the following commands in the Anaconda Prompt:

conda create -n spyder-env -c conda-forge spyder python=3.8
conda activate spyder-env
spyder

After that, you’ll always need to run the last two commands to start 5.2.0.

Please do that and let us know if it works for you.
