ImportError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal'

I've just installed tensorflow but when typing :
import tensorflow
I get this error :

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.

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found for tensorflow

The following is my environment:
python 3.5.2
tensorflow 1.2.1 (cpu version)
Windows 7
After I completed native pip installation I got the following import error:

Can anyone help with this problem?

Moving my comment to an answer:
From the documentation see this question:
On Windows, running "import tensorflow" generates No module named "_pywrap_tensorflow" error

tensorflow import does not work [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Tensorflow ImportError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal' on Windows 10

Closed 5 years ago.
In the python shell when I type
import tensorflow as tf
the script breaks. It fails to load the native runtime. I am using python 3.5.2. Here is the error log:

Any suggestions?

I once faced this issue and got it solved by installing the Visual C++ Redistributable.
Refer to this issue in github. It was quite helpful for me.

tensoflow-gpu install issue

I've been using tensorflow for a couple of days running on the CPU, but I decided to start using the GPU instead. So, I installed CUDA and tensorflow-gpu via pip, but it didn't work, so I uninstalled both versions of tensorflow, and installed tensorflow-gpu again. The following message appeared:

Anyone encoutered similar error before?

CUDNN might be one of the reasons. cuDNN v6.0 does not work for many people. Try with cuDNN v5.1. What is the version of cuDNN you are using ??
Importing from inside GIT folder is also one of the reasons.

I recommend you to install both CPU and GPU versions in separate virtual environments. You can use python's inbuilt virtual environment or my preference would be anaconda. Keeping both versions independent from each other should solve the problem.
