Spyder uninstalls and rollsback from 4.0.1 to the version 3.x.x shipped with anaconda by itself.

I installed anaconda and updated spyder to version 4.0.1 Once I close anaconda and open it again, I see spyder rolled back to the original version it came with.

Also, after updating to the latest version of spyder, I found some modules like NumPy, pandas and matplotlib not available showing module not found an error. I have no idea how to fix this. I tried to reset spyder settings and found no solace. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

• Python version: 3.8.1 64-bit

Last conda update --all solved it for me.

When the term “fix” was used, I had something else in mind. Not complaining. I’ll keep my work-around for the time being.
