Just checked the previous OpenCV versions. The issue persists on 4.3.0.38, but not on '4.3.0.36'. So whatever is causing it, started on that version.

I guess I continue using '4.3.0.36' for now...

Usually because you are referencing an object that no longer exists.

Are you realeasing the videocapture too early (if you are using it)

Or

Are you calling cv2.destroyallwindows() whithin your while loop?

Both of these, if inside your while loop, would cause the error.

If the above code is all you have so far...

Try

`import cv2

img = cv2.imread("MyFriends.jpg")

cv2.imshow("TEST",img)

cv2.waitKey(0)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()`

I am not using any loop, i am trying to execute above code and getting strange error. – Juned Ansari Aug 16 '20 at 05:09
Did you try the code at the bottom? Have you tried stepping through the code. Which line does it fail on? – Lewis Morris Aug 16 '20 at 05:14
On what line does it crash. – Lewis Morris Aug 16 '20 at 05:27
Try `cv2.namedWindow("TEST")` before you call imshow. This creates the window first. It's worth a shot – Lewis Morris Aug 16 '20 at 06:10
above same code working in jupiter notebook but cause error in pycharm – Juned Ansari Aug 16 '20 at 06:14
Are you using a different environment in pycharm? Try opening the console in pycharm and reinstalling opencv – Lewis Morris Aug 16 '20 at 06:34
