@wealthr This issue is related to MatPloitLib and out of the scope of this project. Closing therefore

do you know how can resolve it?, selenium-profile works perfectly well

maybe https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/18292/ helps you

I found that installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable fixes the problem.

You can download it from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

That's might be helpful for others having the same issue, thanks! Also, I'm planning to remove the MatPlotLib dependency:)

I had the same error in https://github.com/pyvista/pyvista/pull/6458. Adding the --only-binary "matplotlib" option to pip command solved the problem.
