Unable to use keras - ImportError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal'

I am trying to execute the command
python -c "from keras import backend".
But while executing it I am getting the following error.
(aind-cv) C:\Users\Harikesh>python -c "from keras import backend"

I am using Anaconda and referred that website to solve the problem but it is not solved. I am trying to do the tasks provided in this. My tensorflow codes are working fine but I am unable to use keras only.

As I cannot comment I am writing this as an answer.
Make sure you have the lib MSVCP140.DLL. You can check in system->path variable. If not you can download it from here link. Also make sure you download the correct 32/64 bit for your system.
Also possible duplicate of this

I install tensorflow like this :
pip3 install tensorflow
I use python 3.5.3, with Windows 10 Pro.
I re-install several times tensorflow but I can't solve this issue.
I know that this problem has been solved many times but not with CPU-only tensorflow. That's why I asked you this question.
How can I do that.
Thanks in advance for your response.
EDIT : I found that tensorflow is trying to import _pywrap_tensorflow_internal as a module but in fact it's a *.pyd

I encountered the same issue and the problem was with the version of TensorFlow. Follow the below steps in order to remedy this situation:
Open the terminal via Anaconda navigator.
Run the command:
conda install tensorflow
Try importing tensorflow again and it will just work fine.

Problems Installing Tensor Flow Windows 10

I'm trying to get tensorflow to work on my Windows 10 machine.
I have Cude 8 and CuDNN 5.1 installed and added to the %path%.
Installed Python 3.5.4 then proceeded to install TensorFlow by executing
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-GPU. The computer is running a GeForce 1060.
Here is what I get when I try to import TensorFlow:

I've faced this error during my setup. But my environment is Windows 7.
Uninstalled the Python and reinstalled python 3.5 and continued the setup.
Next followed this link to resolve the DLL load failed error:

My Working setup in Windows 10 and GTX960M:
Install python 3.5.x
Microsoft visual studio 2015 community edition.
Download and install CUDA toolkit 8.0
Download CuDNN v5.1.
Set CUDA_HOME (\CUDA) and %CUDA_HOME%\bin in PATH.
Extract the cuDNN files to a folder and add that location(the folder where bin,lib, include folders are) also to PATH make sure that cuDNN DLLs are properly set in %PATH%.
Copy the respective files from cuDNN to folders in cuda installation directory(This solved my issues):
copy cudnn64_5.dll to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\bin.
copy cudnn.h to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\include.
copy cudnn.lib to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\lib\x64.
Make sure that I have MSVCP140.dll in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64. If not download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587 and install it.
I strongly think these versioning is a bit important in this case.
I tried using cuDNN 6.0 which failed. but 5.1 worked.

I thought I had installed tensorflow correctly. I am using python 3.5.2 so it should work. I followed the instructions on the website and installed the CPU only version of tensorflow using pip which seemed to work. However, when, in python, I try to:
