I receive the following error when importing tensorflow

ImportError: Could not find the DLL(s) 'msvcp140.dll or msvcp140_1.dll'. TensorFlow requires that these DLLs be installed in a directory that is named in your %PATH% environment variable. You may install these DLLs by downloading "Microsoft C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" for your platform from this URL: https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
even when I have both msvcp140.dll and msvcp140_1.dll installed and they are both placed in the directory specified by %PATH% environment variable
C:\Users\Rostyslav>where msvcp140.dll
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16\bin\msvcp140.dll
C:\Windows\System32\msvcp140.dll

C:\Users\Rostyslav\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\msvcp140.dll
My path environmental variable looks like this:
After searching, I found that the reason can be in incompatibility between protobuf, tensorflow, and python. I have tried many different combinations of versions, but all of them lead to the same error.
The current versions are as follows:
tensorflow 2.5.0
python 3.8.10
protobuf 3.17.3
If you need any additional information, please let me know, and I will share. Any help is appreciated because I tackle this problem the whole day. Thank you!
Update:
After I modify self_check.py to show more detailed information about the error, this is what I get
