I have a working setup.py here. Maybe you can try and see if it works after using the same config. Basically sometimes after compiling, the tk and tcl dll/packages are missing and so you need to include them during the setup.

import sys, os
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

includes = []

include_files = [r"C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\DLLs\tcl86t.dll",
                 r"C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\DLLs\tk86t.dll"]

base = 'Win32GUI' if sys.platform == 'win32' else None

os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\tcl\tcl8.6'
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\tcl\tk8.6'

setup(name="simple_Tkinter",
      version="0.1",
      options={"build_exe":{"includes":[],"include_files":include_files}},
      description="Sample cx_Freeze Tkinter script",
      executables=[Executable("SimpleTkApp.py",base=base)])
