Hey @visionvardhman, thanks for reporting. Please open the Anaconda prompt and run there

It opened the spyder application for me and the last few lines are the following:

And the window has frozen again. Cant re-open it from the task bar too.

Does Spyder completely freeze for you? Or it only freezes for a little bit and then you can keep working on it?

[visionvardhman]

The issue is fixed for now after i downgraded python to 3.8

Ok, thanks for letting us know about it. Closing then.

My spyder freezes and says "not responding," using Anaconda navigator.
