title: An error ocurred while starting the kernel Python in Spyder
body: <p>I updated Python to version 4.2 with Anaconda Navigator. I am kind of new to programming, but I have an error in the console. It says &quot;An error ocurred while starting the kernel&quot; and than the following:</p>
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File &quot;C:\Users\anass\Anaconda3\lib\runpy.py&quot;, line 193, in _run_module_as_main

  </code></pre>
  <p>What should I do to fix this?
  When I open Spyder, it says (Python 3.6). Is that maybe part of the problem? Thanks in advance!</p>
