ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32file'

[Sarah_H_]

I seem to have this problem over and over again.

[conda 4.5.13, Python 3.6.8 :: Intel Corporation, Windows 10]

How are you dealing with it.

[Oleksandr_P_Intel]

Please provide the output of `conda info`, `conda list --explicit` and the operations you were attempting to do.

The win32file is a native extension, part of pywin32 module, a dependency of menuinst. 

The error may indicate that the native extension fails to load due to an inconsistency in the environment, or some file corruption. 

Try reinstalling the pywin32 conda package in the base environment, by first inspecting output of `conda list -n base pywin32`, and then issuing `conda install -n base pywin32=version=buildNumber`.

For example 

(py36) C:\Users\user>conda list -n base pywin32
# packages in environment at C:\Users\user\miniconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
pywin32                   223              py37hfa6e2cd_1


(py36) C:\Users\user>conda install -n base pywin32=223=py37hfa6e2cd_1
