cudnn64_8.dll not found (but I have it installed properly!)

I have tried to get my laptop gpu to work with tensorflow, however I keep encountering this issue

I had tensorflow installed through pip (on anaconda env) with CUDA 11.2 and CUDnn 8.1, and it won't work!

I then tried a previously known version to work (tensorflow 2.4 with CUDA 11.0 and so on. -but pip will not install tensorflow 2.4.0 (I am assuming it is no longer supported)

I have included a photo with proof of my cuda and cudnn versions

I believe the issue may lie in the folder you extract your cuDNN to.

Personally, I've extracted my cuDNN to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.2.

When you open the zip cuDNN file, open the "cuda" file in the zip, and then extract the rest (bin etc.) into the above mentioned directory.

Make sure you restart the program/kernel so it can detect the new files.

Also, don't forget to add the CUDA path to your environment variables, though as it knows to look for cudnn64_8.dll I expect this is fine.
