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.
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
