Answer 1

On Windows, glew and sdl2 are required as dependencies. I had the same problem. Installing all the dependencies

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew

and then reinstalling kivy worked for me.

Answer 2

If you have already installed kivy in windows without installing dependencies use these command separately It will work,

python -m pip install kivy.deps.sdl2

python -m pip install kivy.deps.glew
