you need to activate the environment by using this command

 conda activate 

you see the command window as below, with base env

Doing this I resolved this error

ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import Traceback (most recent call last): File "opencv_p1.py", line 2, in import cv2 File "E:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\cv2__init__.py", line 3, in from .cv2 import * ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

In case you want to deactivate the conda use

 conda deactivate
