Can't run tensorflow on Win10

I am trying to run Gpt2 on my machine, i am following this guide : https://lambdalabs.com/blog/run-openais-new-gpt-2-text-generator-code-with-your-gpu/
I created a new environment on Conda to make sure it would be isolated and all, and downloaded the correct versions of the libs.
My environment is :
Windows 10
Python 3.6
tensorflow-gpu 1.12 (installed with pip)
CUDA v9, v10, v11
cuDNN for v9 and for v11 (i first installe dht elatest, but then i was told tensorflow was only happy with version 9 so i installed it)
Whenever i try to import tensorflow, either with from tensorflow import * or import tensorflow as tf
I get :

This error isn't helping at all, and i'm stuck there. Any ideas ?
Thank you.
EDIT :
For those running in the same problem, follow the github link, install everything with conda. I also ran into this problem : Tensorflow has no Attribute "sort" in GPT 2 Git Release? that was solved as well by udating tensorflow. Thanks everyone

Please try to install tensorflow with conda with below command.
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow //tensorflow package
or for specific version
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow=1.13.1

Not able to use tensorflow and keras library in visual studio code

I am building a deep learning app, for that I need to import tensorflow and keras libraries in VSC but unfortunately, I couldn't import it though I have installed tensorflow successfully. Also I have checked the package in virtual environment(pip list), it is there. I have tried almost everything but i haven't found the solution.

It looks like you are using conda and pip together. It's best to not mix the to, so I would either switch to virtual environments and then try installing again, or stick with conda and install tensorflow using conda itself.

I am not sure whether you had founded this page, but this page seems provides some solutions to your problem. If you didn't find it, you'd better be careful about the information which the outputs provided. As it says: See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/errors

How can i fix Import TensorFlow error on python 3.7.1?

I'm working on YOLO Object detection on darkflow. Importing tensorflow does pop up an error and the error is following below. I've installed CUDA 10.0 and cuDNN 7.5 for 10.0 still got this issue don't know why and i've tried all the possible solutions.
My system is ASUS GL-502VS GTX1070

Try that before running the script:
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/bin/cuda # or /usr/bin/cuda-10, it depends on your installation
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$CUDA_HOME/lib64

first thing open your cmd(windows) or terminal(Linux) and open up python there and then import tensorflow import tensorflow and then if its get imported and run well than it state that you are having wrong python interpreter set for your project or your current interpreter does not have tensorflow install. then in case please change the interpreter or install tensorflow for that interpreter.

Unable to import tensorflow in Python

Edit: This seems to be a problem in some versions of Windows. I tried the same in Linux OS and it finally worked.
Inside my virtual environment, I installed tensorflow. Then tried to import it into python, but ImportError.
I've tried ALL hacks available on the internet, but none of them seem to work for me. Please help.
Tried downloading necessary DLLs (in system32 folder)
Tried changing environment path variable
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python and tensorflow in various ways
Tried upgrading setup tools
Basic import command
E:\tensor1>myenv\Scripts\activate.bat

How to setup virtual environment to run tensorflow benchmarks

My purpose is setting up virtual environment to run tensorflow benchmark but I am getting an error at last statement after running following code. May I ask what I should do to resolve this issue? FYI: I am using Python 3.6.7 with only pip and virtualenv packages and CUDA 9.2/cuDNN7 installed (all dlls in system path).
virtualenv venv
venv\scripts\activate
#now you should be in virtual environment
#install using pip
pip install tf-nightly-gpu
python
import tensorflow

Found an answer just after writing the question.
Downgrading CUDA 9.2 to 9.0 before copying cudnn64_7.dll (cuDNN 7.3.1 for CUDA 9.0) to CUDA bin directory made it work.
