I was facing missing DLL issue.

I deleted cv2 and openCV folder from the Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\ folder in my system. 2.Installed Media feature pack on windows 10 from Optional features settings. 3.Then ran pip install opencv-python again.
Rebooted my system and import cv2 worked like a charm.
