Scrapy: Project can't be created

I'm currently following the Scrapy tutorial and am at the step where there's a creation of a project, however this error is produced everytime I run the command scrapy startproject tutorial.

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Me\Miniconda3\Scripts\scrapy-script.py", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(execute())
  File "C:\Users\Me\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\scrapy\cmdline.py", line 149, in execute
    cmd.crawler_process = CrawlerProcess(settings)

    from cryptography.hazmat.bindings._openssl import ffi, lib
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

I suspected that the issue is in my installation of Scrapy, so I tried reinstalling Scrapy(first via pip then conda) but it still doesn't fix the problem. I then tried to install the packages that Scrapy needed(one by one) but it's still not fixing anything.

How do I go about fixing this?

Can you try to install Win64OpenSSL_Light-1_0_2h and reinstall cryptography?

pip install -I cryptography
