I downloaded spyder using the

pip install spyder

in my windows 10 32-bit operating system, but i dont see any desktop icons or exe files to start running the IDE. I downloaded spyder 3, any my python is 3.6. I even tried creating a shortcut of spyder.exe from the Python3.6/Scripts folder, but it won't open.

spyder pip python

The name of the spyder executable was changed to spyder3.exe in python version 3. I install pyqt5 and spyder via pip and was able to launch spyder3. I first tried without installing pyqt5 and nothing happened. Once I installed pyqt5, then spyder 3 opened.

Try the following from a windows cmd.exe prompt:

    C:\Users\..>pip install pyqt5
    C:\Users\..>pip install spyder
    C:\Users\..>spyder3

In case if you want the desktop icon

In desktop, create a new shortcut, in Location paste this

%comspec% /k spyder3

then type the name Spyder,

Now you may have Desktop Icon for opening Spyder
