How to solve DLL load failed:A dynamic link library (DLL) initialisation routine failed. of Tensorflow?

I am using Python 3.7.3 and pip version 20.1 and I installed tensorflow 2.0 using pip. I've successfully installed tensorflow. But when I try to run import tensorflow as tf it shows error as ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialisation routine failed.

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

I've gone through the link provided along with the error but couldn't find this particular type of error. If Anyone has faced this typeof error and solved it please help me solve too.

>>> import tensorflow as tf

New version of tensorflow (for example I am using tensorflow v2.2) windows installation needs Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable

https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source_windows#install_visual_c_build_tools_2019

After you have install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ under the section Other Tools and Frameworks, you will be able to run it.
