[FIXED] Can I uninstall and reinstall ONLY Spyder, but not the entire Anaconda framework?

Issue

Spyder has been working fine for me, for quite some time. Now, all of a sudden, I am seeing this image, and nothing else.

I tried 'spyder --reset' of course, and that didn't work. I tried everything from this link.

I'm wondering what is the easiest way to move forward here? Should I completely uninstall and reinstall Anaconda? Is there some way to uninstall and reinstall ONLY Spyder, but leave Anaconda in tact? If that is actually an option, that seems easier to me, rather than going through the overhead of uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Anaconda framework. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks for the look!

Solution

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Anaconda framework and everything works fine now. In the interest of time, and convenience, I think this was the best thing to do. It seems like everything is integrated so tightly, this is the ONLY thing to do. I'm pretty sure it's by design! It's fine! It works 99.9999999% of the time, or more! Totally fine with me!!
