I'm learning python using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10. When I'm trying to import NumPy library into my code, this error appears. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, looking for libiomp5md.dll per instruction in ImportError: DLL load failed when importing Numpy installed in conda virtual environment but to no prevail.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
from . import multiarray
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.
Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

importerror: dll load failed: The specified module could not be found error occurs because of the incompatibilities of Microsoft Visual C++ (Visual Studio) versions. The best way to fix this error (importerror: dll load failed) is to reinstall/ install the Microsoft Visual C++ distribution.
In this case, you should uninstall the library first, then update the pip, and finally install the library again. Besides, if the error occurs, because the module is too new, you can solve the problem by installing the module with a specified version.
Make sure you are using the Anaconda prompt, as the conda command only works in an Anaconda environment, and type conda list numpy . The result will show the version of numpy and associated packages.
I encountered the same problem with VSCode, and I resolved it by adding the following path to the system environment. After that restart VSCode and everything is OK.
C:\Users\<Your user name>\Anaconda3\Library\bin
If the anaconda was not installed in the default directory, please find your own Anaconda3\Library\bin.
