[FIXED] Spyder does not update to V4

Issue

Updating spyder does nothing. My system is still stuck on V3. Can someone help me get this onto V4 please?

I start the Anaconda navigator.

I start Spyder V3.3.6

A prompt informs me that Spyder 4.0.1 is available.

I follow the instructions at : https://docs.spyder-ide.org/installation.html

Open an Anaconda command window and type: conda update spyder

Get the following:

(base) C:\Users\user>conda update spyder
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: \

Updating spyder is constricted by

anaconda -> requires spyder==3.3.6=py37_0

If you are sure you want an update of your package either try `conda update --all` or install a specific version of the package you want using `conda install <pkg>=<version>`

done

# All requested packages already installed.

Solution

run conda update anaconda to update your anaconda version then update your spyder version using conda update spyder
