As you are on a windows machine, there is a possible duplicate. Navigate by clicking here.
This could be an issue regarding matplotlib.
A force reinstall
over pip would solve the issue.
pip install matplotlib --force-reinstall
If you are working on Anaconda, launch Anaconda as Administrator,
conda install freetype --force-reinstall
This solved the same issue for me.
