Python 3.10.5
here is the error message: *

Try using a different version of opencv, this worked for me.
For Python 3.10 I use version 4.5.5.64. Just pip uninstall your version and install the older version using
pip install opencv-python==4.5.5.64

hope this was helpfull

@kilincfaruk, Simon’s answer is supported by this StackOverflow answer that also says to try an older version of OpenCV.
