I am encountering an error while trying to import TensorFlow that states: “ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _pywrap_tfe: The specified procedure could not be found.” This issue is preventing me from using TensorFlow effectively in my environment. I would appreciate any help or guidance to resolve this problem.

Here are some details about my setup:

  • Operating System: Windows 10,
  • Python Version: Python 3.9.12
  • TensorFlow Version: tensorflow 2.12.0
  • Installation Method: conda

@KRITICA_MEENA,

Welcome to the Tensorflow Forum!

Can you try uninstalling Tensorflow and then reinstalling it using pip?

Please refer to step-by-step instructions and let us know?

Thank you!

I understand that you’re encountering an error while trying to import TensorFlow on your Windows 10 environment using Python 3.9.12 and TensorFlow 2.12.0 installed via conda. The error message you provided, “ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _pywrap_tfe: The specified procedure could not be found,” typically occurs when there is a compatibility issue or a missing dependency.
