pip3 install --user youtube-dl --upgrade

I am having this same issue, unresolved by updating both mps-youtube and youtube-dl. I am on a 64-bit Windows environment running Windows 10. I'm using the released EXE version. Just wanted to share with the devs.

Edit: I was able to resolve this by running the msyt command instead of the EXE file. This suggests the EXE is packaged in such a way as to cause the bug.
