Encountering Import Error DLL load failed constantly
I have been trying to intall scikit-learn and pytorch using their respective commands given in the docs:
The commands for installing PyTorch are:
1) pip3 install https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch-1.0.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
2) pip3 install torchvision

The command for installing scikit-learn is:
pip install -U scikit-learn

Some background:
I am using Windows 8.1, Python 3.7.2. My pip is updated. I have also installed Anaconda for solving this using conda, but had zero luck!(Also, here I am running into 'conda' unrecognized error which is another story). Here are the paths my PATH variable holds.
PATH

C:\Users\satya\Anaconda3;
C:\Users\satya\Anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin;
C:\Users\satya\Anaconda3\Library\usr\bin;
C:\Users\satya\Anaconda3\Library\bin;
C:\Users\satya\Anaconda3\Scripts; 
C:\Users\satya\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\;
C:\Users\satya\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\; C:\Users\satya\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.7

The Actual Problem:
The same commands for installation given above work perfectly fine on my other Windows 10, but, for my Windows 8.1 it gives this error which has become a real PITA

Import Error: DLL load failed The specified module could not be found

When I import sklearn or import torch I get the exact same error. All the time.
Back Story:
I have searched almost all the related questions I could find on Stackoverflow and Github for 6+ hours to help me solve this problem. But, none of the answers have helped till now and some haven't had an &quot;understandable&quot; answer. Maybe, its just a small fix, but now, I am choosing to post a question on SO.
My Question Again:
Can someone please help out and try to explain what I am missing out here? I really want to fix this error for good(and want to be in a position to fix it if I encounter it again). An elaborate answer would really help understand easily.
Thank You!

Please check your python build number with the following command.

conda list python


Python 3.7.2 with build number h8c8aaf0_2 has a solved issue.

If this is the case, an update will do.

conda update python
