Did you install pywin32 via Pypi? I remember that I was never happy with that - incomplete in several aspects - and used the exe/msi installers the releases here. Which pywin32 build? Is your pywintypes38.dll not in one of those places ? :

<WINSYSTEM32>
<PY>
<PY>\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib
<PY>\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32

Or somewhere else?

>>> import pywintypes
>>> pywintypes
<module 'pywintypes' (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pywintypes37.dll)>

May be a bug of the Pypi wheel variant or an issue of the single user install. May not be up to date. Maybe move/copy it (pythoncom38.dll etc.) to one of thoses places. Maybe do pip uninstall pywin32 and install it from the released exe/msi installers here.

Also, pypiwin32 is very old and was never official - there's no plain old 'pywin32' on pypi.
