Dear all, I got the following error when trying to compile Flux in jupyter notebook:

But in the VS Code it works fine - I can compile the Flux for me very strange but it seems that it has something to do with Cuda (cudnn64) as per error printout,  
I am afraid that if I mess around with “General” folder in registries that I will mess something up - so was not trying to delete this folder and do the general package update, does anybody has any clue what to do in this case?  
thanks in advance,
