anaconda – Error installing Spyder with conda – python

I’ve tried multiple ways to install Spyder using conda using Anaconda Prompt within a Windows OS. It’s been a nightmare. The consistent message I’m return is:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful initial attempt using frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: unsuccessful attempt using repo data from current_repodata.json, retrying with next repo data source.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment:

After activating a new env, I’v tried to install Spyder using the following commands:

conda install spyder
conda install -c anaconda spyder
conda install -c conda-forge spyder
I’ve downgraded the python version to 3.7 and ran both 1,2,3 again but am still getting the same response.
