Installation of TensorFlow 2.1.0 was successful, but TensorFlow import failed.
Open question:
Is there a library that is in a different location/not installed on the system that cannot be loaded?
Procedure for reproduction:
1) create environment
conda create --name tensorflow21_env
2) activate environment
conda activate tensorflow21_env
3) install
conda install python=3.7
pip install tensorflow-cpu #install tensorflow=2.1.0;
4) test
python -c "import tensorflow as tf"

Update:
My processor supports neither AVX nor AVX2 and therefore the tensorflow pip package could not be installed or to be more precise the tensorflow package could not be imported.
Interim solution:
The interim solution for legacy & low-end CPU without AVX support is to install SSE-prebuild-binaries for tensorflow.
Go to tensorflow-windows-wheel and follow instruction to install either tensorflow 2.0.0 or 2.1.0.
Try this method:
Uninstall the TensorFlow package that you installed using pip and reinstall using conda install tensorflow this may work! Now you can import TensorFlow without problems. I hope this can help you.
If you need more detailed steps. Here, you can do the following below.
Run the anaconda prompt as an administrator. (right click-> run as administrator).
pip uninstall tensorflow
Close anaconda prompt.
Again run anaconda prompt as administrator.
type:
conda install tensorflow
It will ask for some y / n
Type y.
Now after all done, change your python interpreter's environment to anaconda environment where you installed tensorflow.
Now try importing tensorflow.
I hope this helps.
I couldn't solve my problem with previous similar questions.
I installed tensorflow-gpu 2.0.0 along python 3.6, cuda 10 and cudnn 7.4.2.
now according to this page, these are compatible and tested:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source_windows#tested_build_configurations
when importing, this is the error its returning:

could someone please help me with this?
There are 4 possible reasons for Tensorflow installation issues in windows
You need to install the MSVC 2019 redistributable from here
Your CPU does not support AVX2 instructions
Your CPU/Python is on 32 bits
There is a library that is in a different location/not installed on your system that cannot be loaded.
I installed latest python 3.6.4 x64 version
and then installed tensorflow for cpu-only with pip3
C:\>pip3 install tensorflow
however when I tried to import tensorflow in python
it showed me the error below
I am sure that I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable(x64)
so it wll not be the problem of dll msvcp140.dll lost
it say that "DLL load failed with error code -1073741795"
so what is exactly the problem here
i cannot find any other information about this error code
my os : windows 7 enterprise with service pack 1 / 64 bit / intel core i5 M 540

I got same problem with tensorflow1.6-CPU on win7 64bit(Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu T6670 2.2GHz)
After I found this, and it solved my problem.
Reference this issue: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/17386
Re-installed by this tensorflow-1.6.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl: https://github.com/fo40225/tensorflow-windows-wheel/tree/master/1.6.0/py36/CPU/sse2
Hope this .whl may help you.
I faced the same issue with tensorflow-1.12.0
what i did was :
Install anaconda
open anaconda prompt
conda create -n tfp python=3.6
activate tfp
conda install tensorflow
python
Now check by importing tensorflow
the version i used was 3.6, but you can also try with 3.7
Hope it helps!
I downgraded tensorflow to 1.10.0 and it fixed the issue
Probably, your CPU does not have the instructions for AVX (needed for all tensorflow binaries since 1.6). You can check that with some tool like CPU-Z. If that is the case, you can donwload the correct wheel here (use SSE2 binaries):
tensorflow-windows-wheel
I had the same issue.
I upgraded pip version with:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
also, downgraded with
pip install tensorflow==2.0
and it worked
ImportError: DLL load failed
for
windows 10
python 3.6
pip install protobuf==3.6.0
or
pip3 install protobuf==3.6.0
I fixed it.
Spend days searching to fix them.
Installed tensorflow with pip install tensorflow-cpu
Updated visual C++ 2015-2019
The issue was because I didn't have nvidia graphics so that I should install with cpu version because I am using Radeon Vega 8 graphics.
Hope it helps.
I have tried different methods still it doesn't work then I apply this method it works for me.
STOP you antivirus protection software for half hour then install anaconda,it works fine. 100%
If you use python 3.6.10 and tensorflow 2.1.0
Just follow this -
pip install tensorflow==2.0
It worked for me.
I had first Upgraded the Anaconda prompt
I had then used conda create -n tfp python=3.7
conda activate tfp
Then import the tensorflow
I faced the similar issue for tensorflow 2.0
First I uninstalled tensorflow using pip uninstall tensorflow (no need to uninstall tensorflow-estimator or tensorboard).
Then I reinstall using conda install tensorflow.
Never install the latest version of tensorflow it will raise an error
DLL file load error
pip install tensorflow
never run command on your computer as it not supports the tensorflow cpu
most of the latest version supports mostly gpu
so while installing install the lower version of the tensorflow
from my opininon the stable release of tensorflow is tensorflow 1.5
make sure you uninstalled your tensorflow installed in your computer
pip uninstall tensorflow
After above step shutdown your pc and restart.Then only install tensorflow 1.5
command to install tensorflow version 1.5
pip install tensorflow==1.5
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable & reboot the PC, it will work with tensorflow 2.3.1 in python 3.7
I have installed CUDA because I need to run some Deep Neural Network models, but Tensorflow is still unable to see the gpu
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
print(device_lib.list_local_devices())
It shows only the CPU.
How can I get Tensorflow to use my gpu?
error log I get when I import keras with tensorflow-gpu installed

Your Cuda version is the problem. Only the tensorflow version 1.5 supports CUDA 9 and cuDNN 7. The previous versions of the Tensorflows support only CUDA 8 and cuDNN 6. If you have installed using anaconda it is very likely that you have not installed version 1.5. Use pip or pip3 to install.
Since you are using a windows machine check this link to install tensorflow with gpu support.
Check this link to see which version require what Cuda and Cudnn
I recommend you to uninstall both the CPU and GPU version of tensorflow and install afresh.
If you wanna keep your cuda version to 9 then install tensorflow version 1.5. If you install using anaconda it is likely you will get version 1.4 which supports only Cuda 8
I'm trying to install Tensorflow in my PC, i installed Python 3.5.2 64-bit, cuda_8.0.61 for windows 10 and cudnn-8.0-windows10-x64-v6.0
I used "native" pip to install GPU version of Tensorflow, then i open IDLE and testing with "import tensorflow as tf" and i got the error bellow
How can i fix this ? Thanks you in advance <3

download numpy‑1.12.1+mkl‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
pip install numpy‑1.12.1+mkl‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
scipy (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy)

Try:
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
to install tensorflow instead of:
pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
My computer is Windows with CPU and I have had same issues. I uninstall tensorflow 1.9 and install 1.5 instead. It works right now.
Why don't try Anaconda?
conda create -n gpu_env tensorflow-gpu
conda activate gpu_env
As easy as that. All the packages and runtime needed (Visual Studio included) will be brought together while you watch in awe :). Give it a try!
Caveat: You need to run Keras from inside tensorflow in order for it to detect and use your GPU. Otherwise if you use just keras and tensorflow as a backend, Keras will use plain tensorflow and not tensorflow-gpu. Boths are installed side by side.
Meaning you should code it this way:
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential, load_model
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Dense,Dropout
from tensorflow.keras.callbacks import ModelCheckpoint, EarlyStopping,CSVLogger
from tensorflow.keras.utils import plot_model
.............

Hope this help.
If the problem persists check the version numbering and make sure cuda and TF are compatible.
Check the version numbering here
or for a simpler way, use Anaconda
conda create --name new_env_name tensorflow-gpu
activate new_env_name
I successfully installed TensorFlow GPU version 1.12 (latest until the date of writing) with Cuda 9.0, GeForce 1050 Ti, Windows 10 and Python 3.6.7
Note: You have installed the CUDA Toolkit (version 9) for TensorFlow to recognize your GPU
The problem for me was with a package named protobuf, It was solved by using
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
which upgraded protobuf to 3.6.1 and solved the error.
I have the same problem with you.
The problem is that Anaconda automatically updates the python version when installing ipython and spyder, which becomes version 3.6.
You can change the python version to version 3.5 by entering the tensorflow environment via Anaconda.

Everything could be installed from the console:
conda create --name tf-gpu
conda install -c aaronzs tensorflow-gpu
conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit
conda install -c anaconda cudnn
conda install keras-gpu
Let’s solve this issue in a simplified way…
I do hope that you are going through some problems when trying to import TensorFlow or maybe when importing other libraries which use TensorFlow in the backend.
I solved the above problem by installing Visual C++ distribution.
Click to download visual C++ version.
Now, It ran successfully.
