@jitseniesen could you take a look at this one :-) ?

First of all, thank you spyder developers for your work.
A similar thing happened to me twice during the past two days.
I understand that the next update will likely solve the reset function, but maybe there is a way to deal with corrupt autosave files in a smoother way (in terms of user interaction), and without resetting other settings. Perhaps popping up a message saying "Opening autosave files caused an error. Do you want to discard the autosave files and try starting Spyder again? These files will be moved to the recycle bin." Maybe sending the files to the recycle bin would be better than deleting them.
I am adding more info that might help you understand why the autosave files are being corrupted. Sorry if I am providing too much detail, yet if you need more info please let me know.
To begin with, I think that this happened after updating another software: in the first time I updated Firefox from 72.0.2 to 73.0.0, and in the second time, I updated Adobe Reader DC from some recent version to the latest (20.006.20034). I closed Spyder to update adobe (I think I did it for updating Firefox as well, but I might be wrong). This might be a coincidence, though. I closed and opened Spyder on other occasions without a problem, but I cannot say whether I had autosaved files then. I used Spyder for only a few days so far.
In both instances, the autosave file is empty (size: 0 kb). Their names are: pid460.txt and pid15468.txt. The times of creation, access, and modification are equal to each other (but not equal between the files), and are several hours before I closed spyder (after which the startup crash occurred). For clarity, this holds for the two files causing the two crashes, each file was created before the crash it caused. I installed Spyder 4.0.1 through anaconda, which was installed for my current (administrator) user only, but without providing administrator privileges. Then I updated using conda update anaconda, followed by conda update spyder. I did not install any other modification on python. My OS is Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit, version 1909. As mentioned by hmaarrfk, running spyder --reset did not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled Anaconda, and before updating Spyder from the version distributed with Anaconda (i.e., before conda update spyder), it worked, but after updating it, the error message returned. Removing the file allows Spyder to start, in both instances.
Further debugging data from the Anaconda Prompt, if it helps:

but maybe there is a way to deal with corrupt autosave files in a smoother way (in terms of user interaction), and without resetting other settings
Yes, this is the plan. Until we release a fix, you can delete the pidNNN.txt files (where NNN stands for some number); this will avoid resetting any settings.
What I don't yet understand is how these empty files get created in the first place.
In both instances, the autosave file is empty (size: 0 kb). Their names are:
pid460.txtandpid15468.txt. The times of creation, access, and modification are equal to each other (but not equal between the files
I am not sure I understand you correctly. Do you mean that the creation, access, and modification times of the first file are equal, and that the creation, access, and modification times of the second file are equal, but that the times of the first file are not the same as the times of the second file?
jitseniesen

Regarding the file timestamps, yes, you understood me correctly. The first file was created several hours before I closed the software, after which it did not start (the first startup crash). Likewise, the second file was created several hours beforeI I closed the software, after which the second crash happened (but after the first crash, of course).

@jitseniesen, why don't we skip those empty pid files until you're able to find a proper solution for this?
I mean, this error is pretty serious because it generates a crash at startup.

Hi, I believe I have found the cause of the corrupt autosave files in my case. I had saved the scripts in a path that contained non-English characters. I get the error both with Arabic and with Hebrew characters separately. When the path does not contain such characters, the autosave folder does contain the temporary file and a pidNNN.txt file _with content_. Also, when the autosave happens in these situations, I get error messages in the software, as follows. I don't know if this is why @hmaarrfk got corrupt autosave files, too. By the way, the path did not contain spaces.
Since often a path, and even the base Windows username, contains foreign letters, I humbly suggest that it could be worth fixing, allowing the autosave to work in this situation (but even if you don't, to the very least, please inform the user when saving, like Matlab does with names that contain spaces). Are there other functions that do not work if the file path contains a foreign alphabet?
Thank you!

The PR does not address the encoding error in https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/11375#issuecomment-589196109 so I will open a new issue for this.
jitseniesen
on 20 Feb 2020
@dn7 That is a good hint for what the underlying issue might is, thanks! However, I don't understand why nobody reported that particular traceback.
jitseniesen
on 20 Feb 2020
Let me just stress that the UnicodeEncodeError error happens when editing a script, and I was able to close the error message and continue working. (I also did not understand what Unicodes have to do with running my simple script. I do now). The faulty startup happened later, after closing and opening.
Therefore, I had not realized the two problems were related. Sorry if this complicated things for you.
dn7

in my case, I was hacking my kernel, and thingsjust get corrupt, then i have to hard reset my computer, so anything could be the problem.
That said, there should have been a guide to get out of that rut.

Sorry if this complicated things for you.
@dn7 No, it did not cause me any problems. The two problems need to be solved separately anyway, because the pidNNN.txt files can be corrupted by many different causes (like crashes while they are being written) and we need to handle that gracefully.
there should have been a guide to get out of that rut.
@hmaarrfk Agreed, and the next version will take care of that.

I can't find this directory!
.config/spyder-py3/autosave/
where exactly should I look for?

That's for Linux. On Windows you have to look for .spyder-py3/autosave, inside your Users directory.
