Error launching Spyder from Anaconda Navigator - "chcp 1252 ... 1>nul 2>nul"

Viewed 2565

I am using Anaconda to conduct data analysis in Python using Spyder. I've been doing so with no trouble for while now, installing packages, updating packages/Spyder/etc., but after updating Spyder, I now receive an error message when launching Spyder from within Anaconda.

C:\Users\jdoe>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

C:\Users\jdoe>call C:\Users\jdoe\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate C:\Users\jdoe\Anaconda3

(base) C:\Users\jdoe>spyder  1>nul 2>nul

This terminal window appears, then closes itself and Spyder along with it.

If I open a terminal window from within Anaconda and type spyder, I am able to launch the app successfully. But launching from Anaconda Navigator fails, and I don't understand this error message or how to fix it, nor have I been able to find anything relating to this issue in searching. Any help understanding what is going on and how to correct this would be appreciated.
