Why CMD is running while Spyder is open within Anaconda?

Question

I have recently updated Anaconda and Spyder.

However, once I opened Spyder within Anaconda, I got an issue with Spyder.

Command Prompt (cmd) is running while I open Spyder (picture is attached).

The problem is that when I close the cmd window Spyder is crashing.

Can someone help me with fixing this issue?

Thanks

P.S. I have to note that no similar issue is noticed when Spyder is running not within Anaconda

Answer 1

Detach the Spyder process from the console. On windows, this can be accomplished with the command start. start \path_to_python\Scripts\spyder.exe
