The ImportError: DLL load failed error when trying to import PySide2 in Windows 10 can often be resolved by ensuring all dependencies are correctly installed and the environment is properly configured. Here are steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Install Visual C++ Redistributable: PySide2 requires the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019. Make sure it’s installed on your system.
  2. Check Python Version: Ensure your Python version is compatible with the PySide2 version you’re using.
  3. Reinstall PySide2: Sometimes, reinstalling the package can resolve the issue. Use pip install PySide2 --force-reinstall.
  4. Check Environment Variables: Ensure your PATH environment variable includes the locations of Python and PySide2.
