Resolving the Tensorflow Error: "Could Not Load Dynamic Library" on Windows

Are you encountering the frustrating error message Could not load dynamic library 'cudart64_101.dll' every time you run your Tensorflow-powered Python program on Windows? If so, you're not alone! Many users face this issue, particularly when Tensorflow is unable to locate necessary dynamic libraries. In this post, we’ll break down the problem and provide a simple solution to silence this warning.

Understanding the Error

When you run a Python script that utilizes Tensorflow, you might see output similar to the following:

What Does This Mean?

Dynamic Library Not Found: This warning indicates that the Tensorflow library is trying to access cudart64_101.dll, which is required for GPU acceleration, but it cannot find this specific file.

Impulse to Ignore: Tensorflow provides a note stating that you can ignore the warning if you do not have a GPU setup on your machine. But what if you simply want to remove the warning message from appearing altogether?

Silencing the Warning

If you wish to suppress these warning messages and focus on your Tensorflow project without distractions, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Solution

Open Your Python Script: Navigate to the Python file where you are using Tensorflow.

Set Environment Variables: At the very top of your script, add the following lines of code to set the logging level to ignore warnings, specifically those related to loading dynamic libraries:

Explanation of the Code:

import os: This imports the operating system module which allows you to interact with the system.

os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3': This line sets the Tensorflow logging level to 3, which means only fatal errors will be output – no warnings about missing DLLs.

import tensorflow as tf: This imports Tensorflow after the logging level is set.

Run Your Script Again: With the new code changes in place, save your script and run it. You should no longer see the warning regarding the missing cudart64_101.dll file.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you have successfully suppressed the Tensorflow warning related to missing dynamic libraries. This allows you to concentrate on the functionality of your Tensorflow projects without the distraction of unnecessary warnings.

If you happen to have a GPU setup later on, you might want to address the actual missing library issue; otherwise, you can continue using Tensorflow seamlessly on your Windows system!
