I installed torch using “pip install torch” command. it was working.
I did install torchvision using “pip install torchvision” . after that started getting following error .
Error loading “\lib\site-packages\torch\lib\shm.dll” or one of its dependencies

Note: Uninstalled torch, torchvision and re-installed torch. still the issue persisted.

I have same issue (Windows 10, Cuda 12.1, Python 3.11).
Going back to Torch==2.2.2 fixed it for me, 2.3 failed.

Following command solved the issue on my machine, I experianced the issue due to MKl version mismatch, latest torch installation getting me mkl which is interfering with mkl I have in my application.

python.exe -m pip install torch==2.0.0 torchvision==0.15.1 torchaudio==2.0.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu

Hello, I tried as you wrote in your comment. Nothing worked, I tried installing different versions of Torch, Torchaudio, Torchvision. The error remains the same: …Python311\site-packages\torch\lib\shm.dll" or one of its dependencies. Please tell me the solution. Thanks in advance.

i have the same issue today:
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

I have cuda 12.1 on windows 11. is something broken on pytorch side?

Installing pytorch separately using the guide here fixed it for me

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorch

7

that looks like CPU only though. I need GPU support.

select options in following link for GPU support

Following on from @Alexander_DE’s reply, you should be able to resolve the issue by installing PyTorch2.2 instead of the current latest version 2.3.

The previous install commands can be found on: Previous PyTorch Versions | PyTorch

Thnaks, I solved it with your suggestion.

So I had this problem also, version 2.2.1 works, but version 2.3.0 does not.
Is this a bug that needs fixing? What is the root cause of this? I want to keep my packages updated and there are some dependencies that will require to keep up with the latest.

thanks after countless hours your suggestion worked
