Importing tensorflow error: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _pywrap_tensorflow_internal: The specified module could not be found

Question

I have installed Python 3.8.3 and tensorflow 2.3.1 on Windows 10 64-bit but when I try to import tensorflow, I face the following error

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _pywrap_tensorflow_internal: The specified module could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\__init__.py", line 41, in <module>

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _pywrap_tensorflow_internal: The specified module could not be found.


Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/errors

How to solve this issue?

Sometimes [a quick diagnosis with a DLL/PYD dependency check tool](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64944065/tensorflow-importerror-dll-load-failed-while-importing-pywrap-tensorflow-inter#69874313) could be helpful — Janaka Bandara, Nov 07 '21 at 16:30

I will suggest you to check TensorFlow is correctly installed or not.

Run this command:

pip freeze

Do your laptop had GPU? Try to re install tensorflow in the virtual environment of conda according to your requirements. [link]https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu#windows_setup [link]https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/tensorflow/ – Hamza Shaikh Nov 04 '20 at 11:17
