After some digging, I'm fairly convinced that its not spyder or python that are causing directly causing my problems, but somehow related to the Windows explorer function.
When I run spyder, I get the crash when I see "loading file explorer....." on the splash screen. I can start spyder light and run python interactively just fine. I can see and use the variable explorer. BUT, when I attempt to either use the "working directory" function from the options pull down in spyder light, OR I attempt to run a python script using the "Run..." command from the spyder light options pull down, spyder light just disappears from my screen. By running spyder light from another computer, the first thing I see is a windows file explorer window when I access the two aforementioned commands, is a windows file explorer. So, I now know: 1. When spyder tried to load the file explorer at startup, it crashes 2. When spyder light tries to open the the working directory, it activiates a Windows explorer window, and crashes. 3. When spyder light tries run a python script, it activiates a Windows explorer window, and crashes. The votes have been counted folk....Somehow, when spyder/python tries to access this function in the OS, it crashes. Is this a registry problem? A path problem?
