Can you mention on which system you installed it and what was the command you used ? – Eyshika

Looks like you are using Anaconda. If so don't use pip as it can break your environment, use conda.

You can try by first going to "anaconda-prompt" using windows search and then run the command as below:

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

or any other from https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/opencv.

Maybe you can uninstall and install opencv. This usually happens when you download package at a different file location or the package itself is not installed properly. I suggest using this:

1.pip install opencv-python

or if you need the full module (cnn, face analysis, shape and etc)

2.pip install opencv-python-contrib
