I am getting the following error when trying to import tensorflow. I have tried many solutions and non seem to work.

I have seen Issue #22794, but it does not seem to help.

Versions -- > python 3.7.4 -- > tensorflow 2.3.0

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/errors

I tried to reinstall the tensorflow, downgrade, and upgrade as well. Nothing seem to work, unfortunately.

What is make/model of your cpu?
I suspect your cpu model does not support AVX instructions sets.See hardware requirements
Make sure to download the latest microsoft visual c++ redistributable from here.
.Also, please follow the instructions from to install from Tensorflow website.

Please, check Your CPU/Python is on 32 bits?Please, refer #36167 and see if it helps you.Please, refer similar issues #36167 #36151 #36138 #36054 #36045 #36020 #36003 #35988 #35903 #35880 #35865 #35805 #35789 #35773 #35772 #35767 #35766 #35749 #35721 #35618 #35204
Thanks!
