Please re-install pywin32 as follows:

python -m pip install pywin32 # if using a non-conda environment
conda install -n <env name> pywin32 --force-reinstall # if using a conda environment

If you encounter any problems when upgrading (eg, "module not found" errors or similar), you should execute: python Scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py -install
