You could try and convert the Windows pathnames from backslashes to
forward slashes.

DIRS:[os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates)].replace('\\', '/'),

My own Windows equivalent is ...

TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND':
'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [
os.path.join(APPS_ROOT, 'templates/').replace('\\', '/'), ], 'APP_DIRS':
True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
'django.template.context_processors.media',
'django.template.context_processors.static',
'django.template.context_processors.tz',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ]
