win32api - ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I am trying to install Jupyter simply by following the documentation. I used pip.
The installation went fine, but while trying to open Jupyter using jupyter lab in the command prompt I got the following error right after it was trying to import win32api.
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
How do I fix this?
my pip version is 21.0.1

So the problem was that I had two Python versions installed. So I deleted all and installed the newest one. Seemed to me like the PATH for win32api got mixed up with the previous versions.
Also, spare yourself the manually installation hassle with pip and get Anaconda- this will install for you Jupyter automatically.
I spent so much time trying to figure out what's the issue with pip while Anaconda can spare you so much trouble.
