While importing tensorflow, got the error 'ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.'

I have seen and implemented several potential solutions to my problem, but none seem to work. Can I get resolution for the error in importing tensorflow?

Versions -- > python 3.7.4 -- > tensorflow 2.3.0

Anaconda offers an installation for Tensorflow that takes care of everything, including all the GPU and CUDA dependencies:

conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu

It's for Tensorflow 2.1 and Python 3.7. DLL failures are common when components are installed separately or through another channel than Anaconda.

I think the package didn't installed correctly. try reinstalling it.(if you use 'pip' to install don't forget to update it)
