Tensorflow not working on Windows (Parallel) VM on Mac with M1 Chip

[ComputerVisionFans]

Error: ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

System info: Cuda V11.3 cudnn V11.3 Pycharm Python 3.7 VS2019 installed as well Installed tensorflow by : pip install tensorflow (tensorflow version: 1.15.0) and also tried tensorflow 2.4.1

System is: windows10 installed by parallel on Mac with M1 Chip

When I test tensorflow by following commends, it gave me these error import tensorflow as tf

Can someone please give us some help? thanks a lot!

After long time Stackoverflow and debugging , the following solution works for me: If you want to run tensorflow on Win10 (VM) installed by parallel, and you Macbook is latest M1 chip, And you came cross DLL problem, maybe try following command: pip uninstall tensorflowand also go to check venv/lib/sit-packages/ whether or not tensorflow folder deleted completely , make sure deleted it completely, then run command,

Bascially, M1 CPU doesn't support AVX instructions, you will get ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Win 10) or ImportError: DLL load failed with error code -1073741795 (Win 7) when using tensorflow official release 1.6.0 and up (pip install tensorflow) You can use pip install which file download from sse2 folder instead of using official AVX binary.

Thanks a lot for this github

Then download 7Zip to unzip the whole file, Combine_several_zip_files into whl file Finally you can use pip install filename.whl to install tensorflow!

Cheers ! Solved!

• someone also suggested not using pip install, but conda install tensorflow, it doesnt work for this system set.:(
• someone also suggested downgrading the u5py version, not work:(
• downgrading cuda not help:(
• pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu==2.2.0 not work :(

But if my way not helping you, the above mentioned methods maybe be helpful for your case.!
