title: Tensorflow Error: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
body: <p>I've looked through previous answers to similar questions but couldn't find the answer that worked for me.</p>
  <p>I've worked with TensorFlow for a long time. Currently trying out Yolov4 which has a requirement to use Tensorflow version 2.3.0, so I decided to install that one.</p>
  <p>Anaconda's latest release is 2.1.0 that works great on my computer. So since that was not enough, I created a new environment and installed Tensorflow with <code>pip install tensorflow-gpu</code> which installs version 2.3.0 seemingly without errors.</p>
  <p>Then for the <code>import tensorflow as tf</code> I get this error. Any ideas what to try to resolve this?</p>
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import tensorflow as tf
