Tensorboard TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'

Question

I'm starting tensorboard 1.8.0 in cmd using tensorboard --logdir=I:\logs. The error:

I have had the same error. Installing tensorflow==1.8.0 into the same env helps me. Now this works for me on Windows 10. And training on GPU still works.

pip freeze

Try to upgrade protobuf:

pip install --upgrade protobuf
