Kivy not working (Error: Unable to find any valuable Window provider.)

I have been getting this error: Unable to find any valuable Window provider.
With kivy heres the “full” error:

thats the error and heres the code:

import kivy #added this just in case
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label


class SimpleKivy(App):
    def build(self):
       return Label(text="Hello World!!!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
   SimpleKivy().run()

Can someone explain this error

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

You’re probably missing some dependencies. From the docs:

Install the dependencies (skip gstreamer (~120MB) if not needed, see
Kivy’s dependencies):

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

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

To install these dependencies, open up a terminal (can be a console, Pycharm Terminal window, etc.), run the first command and then the second command.

Method 2

The solution above did not work for me. Here is what I had to do to solve the problem on my Windows 10 pc with Anaconda Python 3.6 installed:

• open an Anaconda prompt window as administrator
• pip uninstall kivy
• pip install kivy
• pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2
• pip install kivy.deps.glew

Method 3

Even i have faced same problem.

Now it is working with conda install

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install kivy

Method 4

I had the same problem. I tried many suggested solutions in vain. It only worked when I uninstalled and reinstalled kivy.

To uninstall:

    $ pip uninstall kivy

To install:

    $ python -m pip install kivy==2.0.0rc1

Method 5

try to disable the 3D and the 2D video acceleration acceleration in the (>>display>> settings ) of the virtual software (aka vmbox, vmware).
