Tensorflow doesn't detect GPU

Question

When running tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU') the GPU isn't being detected. When I install tensorflow-gpu this error message appears (see below). How can I force TF to use my GPU (RTX 3060).

Ignore tensorflow-gpu, look at the log produced when importing tensorflow, and look at the thousands of questions asking the same thing, for exam,ple just today: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75359439/tensorflow-2-10-0-not-detecting-gpu — Dr. Snoopy, Feb 06 '23 at 23:30
"look at the log produced when importing tensorflow" this is very important as it tells you which libraries are missing for GPU support. — Dr. Snoopy, Feb 07 '23 at 00:27
When importing tensorflow it doesn't seem to encounter any errors — N048, Feb 07 '23 at 01:01

"TensorFlow 2.10 was the last TensorFlow release that supported GPU on native-Windows. Starting with TensorFlow 2.11, you will need to install TensorFlow in WSL2, or install tensorflow-cpu and, optionally, try the TensorFlow-DirectML-Plugin"

Please follow the step by step instructions mentioned in this link to install TensorFlow along with checking Hardware and Software requirements for the TensorFlow GPU support in the system.

Please make sure to set the path to the bin directory after downloading all the required software for the GPU setup. Let us know if the issue still perists.
