Hello @Jimmy321342 I saw this problemhere but it was for raspberry-py as you are on windows I have two recommendations for you:

1. reinstall pip install py-solc-x in a python virutal environment, including eth-brownie, and try again (use this as a guide for virtualenvs).
2. Use WSL (windows subsystem for linux) you may refer to this guide.

reinstall pip install py-solc-x in a python virutal environment, including eth-brownie, and try again (use this as a guide for virtualenvs). tried this, throws following error

pip failed to build package:
cytoolz

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
build\lib.win-amd64-3.10\cytoolz\functoolz.cp310-win_amd64.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\HostX86\x64\link.exe' failed with exit code 1120

Error installing eth-brownie.

tried with both pip and pipx, it is still stuck

OK we are on the correct way, the Cytoolz problem is common and some windows user are having it, you have two possible paths here:

1. install visual studio community and the python development tools on it.
2. install WSL and work with a Linux terminal instead.
