DLL load failed while importing _dlib_pybind11: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

• face_recognition version: 1.3.0
• Python version: 3.7
• Operating System: Windows 10

Description

Trying to implement face_recognition library and when i isntalled it from pip there i am getting this error when i try to run my script

What I Did

I imported dlib from conda and face_Recognition through pip.
When i run my script i am getting this error: DLL load failed while importing _dlib_pybind11: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

This is the whole stacktrace

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _dlib_pybind11: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

The traceback only identifies the installed face_recognition and dlib entry points, not a repository file or test. Start by reproducing the import failure on Windows 10 with Python 3.7, conda dlib, and pip-installed face_recognition; done requires a confirmed resolution for this environment or a documented project-side fix.
