I got it to work. I did this first to allow the conda install of mkl-service but was still getting the ddl error
" This is due to .dll error
go to location where you’ve install anaconda anaconda3>Library>bin. search and copy following dll files
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll
and paste to anaconda3>DLLs.
then restart your pc.
issue will get resolved. "
This is what ultimately worked.
Reinstalling all of the packages.
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall numpy
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pandas
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall matplotlib
pip install mkl-service
conda activate
Thank you for the help!
