Keras requires TensorFlow 2.2 or higher,I have tensorflow 2.4

Question

Here is my system info:

• python == 3.7.9
• keras == 2.2.0
• Tensorflow 2.2.0

I also tried with

• keras == 2.4.0
• Tensorflow 2.4.0

and I also tried to install VC_redist.x64 But it doesn't always work

Any solutions?

I think the problem is in your PATH environment variable. The packages used in the IDE terminal are different from those used by your chosen IDE environment (and interpreter). Try to change the path in the PATH variable (don't forget the PATH system) to the same path used by your IDE environment. So you will use the same versions and same packages of the IDE environment (and therefore TensorFlow 2.4 instead of 2.2)

If you run from the IDE terminal don't forget to restart the IDE (or create a new session terminal) so that it loads the new paths of your environment variables.
