ImportError from skimage: How do I fix it?

Question

Python throws the following error:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

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

I believe it has to do with DLL load. I have no idea what it is or how to fix it.

Have you looked and tried solutions from this GitHub [issue](https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/4780) on their repo? — Prayson W. Daniel, Sep 07 '21 at 05:19
It appears this to be issues with Windows: there are multiple similar questions here in SO: I would recommend installing skimage via `conda` from miniconda as it fixes issues for Windows users.
