Answer 1

Uninstall your pytorch which you have installed and try this using conda

conda install PyTorch -c PyTorch

If it wasn't work run this code in cmd

pip3 install torchvision

Answer 2

You should use the command line to install PyTorch on Windows or any supported platform. It is trivial:

• Open URL in web browser https://pytorch.org/
• Find the "Quick Start Locally" section
• Select your platform
• Run the command on your end (highlighted in yellow)

This way you can install it with any following package:

• Conda
• Pip
• LibTorch
• Source

Encountered the same issue. I used the fix suggested in by the link below: (Fix 2 worked for me)

https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/winerror-126-when-import-torch/80249/8

Fixes:

1.Update to Python 3.8 from 3.7

2.Apply https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/37763 manually.

Replace your local copy with https://gist.github.com/peterjc123/bcbf4418ff63d88e11313d308cf1b427 (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\torch)

Answer 4

I have installed Microsoft Build Tools from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ I have checked all boxes regarding C++ section.

Before this I could only import torch from Jupyter notebook but not from ipython or python shell. I don't why that's so but it works now.

Answer 5

Refer to below link: https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/cannot-import-torch-on-jupyter-notebook/79334

This is most probably because you are using a CUDA variant of PyTorch on a system that doesn’t have GPU driver installed. That is to say, if you don’t have a Nvidia GPU card, please install the cpu-only package according to the commands on https://pytorch.org.

Conda

conda install pytorch torchvision cpuonly -c pytorch

Pip

pip install torch==1.5.0+cpu torchvision==0.6.0+cpu -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
