Regular instructions to update Spyder don’t work in this case because there are some incompatible dependencies between Spyder 5.0.5 and 5.1.5.

conda update anaconda
conda install spyder=5.1.5

It generates the following error: “Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.”

To work around this problem, you need to close Spyder and run the following commands:

conda remove spyder
conda remove python-language-server
conda update anaconda
conda install spyder=5.1.5

These commands could give errors, but that’s fine. Ignore them.
