I've been trying for 3 days to install tensorflow with CPU support only. I can install it using native pip, but when I'm running the import tensorflow as tf line in Python 3.6 Shell these errors appear :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal'
Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.
See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_sources#common_installation_problems
for some common reasons and solutions. Include the entire stack trace
above this error message when asking for help.
I've followed instructions from the following links:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/10033
On Windows, running "import tensorflow" generates No module named "_pywrap_tensorflow" error
and other similar links that suggested the same solutions.
I've tried including ".DLL" files in my PATHEX variable and also searched for my "mscvp140.dll" in computer. I found some directories from Visual Studio with this file and I've added one of them in my PATH variable. Still, I get the same error when I'm running the import line.
Does anyone solved this problem before? Perhaps I should add a certain folder in my PATH variable or my tensorflow may try to find CUDA even it's a CPU version? I would really appreciate your help.
