Update Installer

[MihaiG-png]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Upon opening Spyder, an update prompt appears on screen to download and install spyder ver 6.0.2. I must've installed it like 3 times already, and upon opening spyder, the image says "Spyder 6", however once inside the environment, I am still in version 3.11 and get the same prompt over and over again, followed by this issue reporter.

Hey @MihaiG-png, thanks for reporting. It's not possible for Spyder to update to a new version under certain circumstances, and it seems the way you installed it is one of them.

To confirm, please go to the menu View > Panes, select Internal console, run there these commands

import sys
sys.executable

and post the result here.
