For that one it could be as simple as to install the C++ runtime
redistributables:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and
2019 <https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/>.

In any case, for windows my advice would be to forget about WinPython or
anything similar use python from python.org with pip to install packages
and eventually installing VS2019 community edition C++ compiler if you
need to compile anything from source.

Best regards,

Armando
