I opened up a Jupyter notebook and tried importing tensorflow as tf and got the following error message
import tensorflow as tf
And here’s the message I received

I tried installing it with the following commands
# install pip in the virtual environment conda install pip # install Tensorflow CPU version pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow # for python 3.* # install Keras (Note: please install TensorFlow first) pip install Keras
But I’m still getting the same error message. I’m using windows 10 if that helps.
Oh I also checked in my command line to see if it was working in python by doing
python >>> import tensorflow as tf
But I still got the same error message

This problem should be fixed by installing the
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019.
