PySpark not starting - Windows 10 - pyspark

Question

I am trying to setup Spark for Python - on a windows 10 pro machine.
However, after following these steps:
Installed Anaconda with Python 3.7
Installed JDK 8
Installed pre-built Spark 2.4.6 with hadoop 2.7
Downloaded winutils.exe
Setup all environment variables - also the user path setup
Created a C:\tmp\hive folder
Used the winutils.exe chmod -R 777 C:\tmp\hive command successfully
When I try and launch pyspark via command prompt the following text is output and nothing happense thereafter - also no errors?
(base) C:\Spark\bin>pyspark
Python 3.7.6 (default, Jan 8 2020, 20:23:39) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

FINALLY 1 + hour later this error is printed:
