Installing tensorflow-gpu broke tensorflow

Question

I'm using tensorflow cpu via anaconda and after using the command

conda install tensorflow-gpu

I got the following error message

File "", line 1, in runfile('C:/Users/g/Desktop/Masters-Project/Gaussian ROC example/Neural Network Worked Example.py', wdir='C:/Users/g/Desktop/Masters-Project/Gaussian ROC example')

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

for some common reasons and solutions. Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help.

I'm not even trying to use the GPU at the minute since it hasn't arrived yet and this is CPU only mode, I'm very confused as to what could be wrong.

have you tried removing the GPU version of tf using conda remove tensorflow-gpu then reinstalling the standard version? You won't be able to use the GPU version without the correct GPU hardware and NVidia libraries installed. — Mark

tensorflow-gpu is not just an additional module for tensorflow but rather a separate version of tensorflow. When you installed tensorflow-gpu the tensorflow package got uninstalled. Now loading the tensorflow-gpu version fails, since you probably are missing all of the CUDA libraries. Just remove the tensorflow-gpu package and reinstall the old tensorflow package again until you actually have a CUDA enabled GPU.
