tensorflow 2.3.1 ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

I've read multiple posts regarding this problem however no luck fixing it.

I am using tensorflow-cpu version 2.3.1, Python 3.7.3. I have downloaded using pip. I keep on getting ImportError and not sure what to do from here, most post talks about tensorflow-gpu version.

Here is my full Traceback:

After uninstalling all Visual Studio previous version and re-installing new one, it got rid of ImportError thanks to Tensorflow Error: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

However after that I kept on getting ModuleNotFoundError everytime I've got this, uninstalled that module and re-installed it. My guess is that there were versions not compatible with each other. But anyways it had fixed my problem.
