Recently, I had to reinstall anaconda on a new computer. I downloaded the latest version from anaconda's website, and installed it just as I did before. Now, when I open anaconda interface and try to run Spyder.exe, I get this message: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\aabramzonx0108132\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\qtpy\QtWebEngineWidgets.py", line 22, in 
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEnginePage
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Users\aabramzonx0108132\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\spyder-script.py", line

    sys.exit(main())

    from spyder.app import mainwindow

    from qtpy import QtWebEngineWidgets # analysis:ignore
    File "C:\Users\aabramzonx0108132\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site- 
  packages\qtpy\QtWebEngineWidgets.py", line 26, in 
from PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets import QWebPage as QWebEnginePage
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets'

Could it be that I installed something wrong?

This has to do with PyQt5 module. To fix this issue try removing PyQt5

pip uninstall PyQt5

If that does not work try to reinstall it using

conda install -f qt=5 pyqt=5

Anaconda 2020.07, Linux, x84_64

I do not know why, but installing

pip install pyqtwebengine

fixed spyder, which was part of the Anaconda installation.

Details:

This was tested on a fresh fedora-33 virtual machine with Anaconda version Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64. pyqtwebengine was not installed before. Trying to uninstall it, gave a WARNING: Skipping pyqtwebengine as it is not installed.
