Tensorflow : DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

I am setting up a Captcha solver with tensorflow object-detection and i get this error

DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

It is on a Windows Server I got Python 3.7.3 And Tensorflow 1.14.0 and i am not using the tensorflow-gpu ! but i already get this error

import tensorflow as tf

  File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow  # pylint: disable=unused-import

    from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow

    raise ImportError(msg)

    return _load(spec)
ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.


Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

I did Everything And Installed All Of required libraries.

i saw all other questions with this theme in stackoverflow but all of them was solving for tensorflow-gpu.

TensorFlow release binaries version 1.6 and higher are prebuilt with AVX instruction sets. .
Therefore on any CPU that does not have these instruction sets, either CPU or GPU version of TF will fail to load.

Apparently, your CPU model does not support AVX instruction sets. You can still use TensorFlow with the alternatives given below:

  • Try Google Colab to use TensorFlow.
    The easiest way to use TF will be to switch to google colab. You get pre-installed latest stable TF version. Also you can use pip install to install any other preferred TF version.
    It has an added advantage since you can easily switch to different hardware accelerators (cpu, gpu, tpu) as per the task. All you need is a good internet connection and you are all set.

  • Try to build TF from sources by changing CPU optimization flags.
