I am trying to get Tensorflow GPU support going in Python under Windows 10.
What does work;
Download and install Python v3.7.3
pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow
pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade scipy
Run Python from a command prompt and then type import tensorflow Works and returns no errors I can run tensorflow Python programs on the CPU (https://github.com/cysmith/neural-style-tf if it matters)
What doesn't work;
I now uninstall CPU tensorflow and install GPU tensorflow
pip3 uninstall tensorflow
pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
Both uninstall and install finish without errors.
I download and install Cuda Toolkit 9.0 and patches.
I download and extract cuDNN and copy the relevant DLLs to the folders under C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0\extras\demo_suite\oceanFFT.exe runs as expected, so I am now assuming Cuda is installed correctly
Run Python from a command prompt window
Type import tensorflow
fails with these errors...

The path corrctly has the Cuda entries at the start, ie
PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0\bin;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0\libnvvp;
I tried uninstalling Cuda v9 and tried v8 and newest v10. Same errors.
Any ideas what I need to do to get tensorflow GPU working under Python in Windows 10?
Also tried older Python v3.6.8 after seeing some posts saying v3.7 not supported.
Same errors

I also went back to Python v3.5.2, installed tensorflow-gpu and got the same errors...

So before I go mad from trying every combo of Python, Cuda and cuDNN hoping to get a working match, is there any actual steps of which version(s) to install and what sequence to make this work?
Edit: The versions I needed/used to make this work were;
Installed Python v3.6.4
pip3 install --no-cache-dir --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu==1.12.0
pip3 install --no-cache-dir --ignore-installed --upgrade scipy
pip3 install --no-cache-dir --ignore-installed --upgrade opencv_python-3.4.5-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Cuda 9.0
cuDNN needs to be "Download cuDNN v7.2.1 (August 7, 2018), for CUDA 9.2"
