Recently updated my computer to Windows 10 and now pyinstaller is throwing an error. This has been working on my Windows 7 computer for as long as I can remember.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling pyinstaller, win32 extentions, and several other things.

Any ideas what could be wrong with my computer settings?

I have encountered the same issue. It was caused by Pyinstaller being very greedy when processing the files in the source directory, and as such it traversed and picked up things that were not suitable, e.g. subdirectories of frameworks, such as .git, or, in my case .vscode. This may results in some hard-to-debug issues - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/58195896/1603969.

I solved my problem by copying the source files to a clean directory and then producing a bundle from this clean directory where only necessary source files resided.
