Unable to install pyautogui on windows

I'm trying to install pyautogui via cmd with pip, and it gives me this error:

_C:\Users#username#>pip install pyautogui Collecting pyautogui Using cached PyAutoGUI-0.9.53.tar.gz (59 kB) Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I've checked it and I have pip and python fully updated, but it doesn't solve anything
