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

Hi,

I keep hitting an import error shown below

setup is Windows 10 64 bit - Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820HQ - GPU Nividia Quadro M1200,

Running Spyder version 4.0 (tried 4.01 also) with python 3.7.6 (also tried 3.8) via virtual env with tensorflow 2. Despite a weeks worth of various combinations I am having no luck. Any help much appreciated

Home setup works fine but I need it working on my work PC. I have a local install as I don't have admin rights.

ImportError: Traceback (most recent call last):
