Problem with TensorFlow2.0: ImportError: DLL load failed.
Dear Sir or Madam,
With regard to module “3. Machine and Deep Learning” with course “Deep Learning with TensorFlow“ and subcourse “Introduction to TensorFlow”:
I can not start TensorFlow because of error:
ImportError: DLL load failed: Eine DLL-Initialisierungsroutine ist fehlgeschlagen.
I followed the instruction which you offered in you blog “How to install TensorFlow 2 in Anaconda” and the recommended link in error message for solution. Then I searched on internet after solution but I did not find any solution which would match to my problem. I really have zero clue, what I should do now.
The full error code:

Hi Volkmar,
Thanks for reaching out.
DLL errors are not very easy to fix actually. They happen because of improper installation or some loss of data afterwards.
I highly suggest that you completely reinstall the whole Anaconda distribution - that would be the easiest way to tackle the issue.
Best,

Hello 365 Team,
two weeks ago I wrote a message, but it seem did not display.
I reinstalled Anaconda but the issue is the same. I don't know what should I do? Have you any idea?

Now, I found a solution. I downgarde the latest TensorFlow version to TensorFlow 2.0.
Open Anaconda "CMD.exe Prompt", then write "pip install tensorflow == 2.0".
