How to fix "RuntimeError: The current Numpy installation fails to pass a sanity check due to a bug in the windows runtime." [duplicate]

Question

I am having a problem with running my Python programs after installing a new package. The error message that I am getting states:

RuntimeError: The current Numpy installation ("[Location of file]") fails to pass a sanity check due to a bug in the windows runtime.See this issue for more information: [URL]

I use VS code.

Answer 1

1. Open the command prompt.
2. Type pip install --upgrade numpy==1.19.3

The current numpy version is having some bugs. You can use --upgrade to upgrade and downgrade packages

Answer 2

This error occurs when using some Numpy versions. So uninstalling your current version and installing 1.19.3 will work.

1. sudo pip uninstall numpy

2. pip install --upgrade numpy==1.19.3
