from kivy.core.window._window_sdl2 import _WindowSDL2Storage [CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort

Question

I'm a novice when it comes to computers so please go easy....

Running Python 3.7 (32 bit) on Windows 10
Using PyCharm
Using Kivy 1.10.1

Running the below code:

from kivy.app import App
App().run()

I get the following error:

C:\Users\callu\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe "C:/Users/callu/OneDrive/Documents/Voting app/main.py"

    from kivy.core.window._window_sdl2 import _WindowSDL2Storage

[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

I've read around 10 different questions with no luck to solving my problem. I've tried adding sdl2 and glew to PATH through the following route

C:\Users\callu\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\kivy_deps\sdl2

I've installed all the kivy dependencies. The odd thing is whenever I try to install the dependencies again it says requirement filled, already installed....but for sdl2 I can keep installing it and it never says this, it just installs the file as though it's the first time.

Try adding kivy.require('1.10.1') and import kivy

import kivy
kivy.require('1.10.1')
from kivy.app import App
App().run()

@yemi.JUMP It depends on you. – eyllanesc Jun 01 '19 at 19:21
Thanks for the response, I'll have a look later at the link and try the solutions (although I've probably already tried the proposed solutions) – Callum Jun 03 '19 at 19:01
