Problem with matplotlib - python 3.11: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _path: - python-3.x

Question

I have the same case which is mentioned in:
Problem with matplotlib when imported with python 3.9: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _path:
but i have one version of python installed (version 3.11) and the path is correct. I do not know how to solving this problem. Could you help me?
I checked if the library is installed in the correct directory. It's correct. The numpy module works and is in the same directory as matplotlib. I have one version installed - python 3.11. I work with Python's IDLE.
Whole bug is:

I had a similar issue.
Official Author's Recommendation

The issue can be worked around by using an additional dependency:
pip install msvc-runtime
You can specify this in your requirements like so:
msvc-runtime; sys_platform == 'win32'
Therefore it will only install for Window's users.
Further options
The above didn't work in my case. My context is that I am using a Docker container based on the windowsservercore-ltsc2022 image.
Instead I installed the vcredist manually (I've included a more verbose set of steps as I use chocolatey. Do refer to the latest chocolatey website for any updated install instructions):
# Use powershell
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]
# Install chocolatey
RUN Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
# Install matplotlib workaround
# https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/24704 # Remove after matplotlib 3.7
RUN choco install -y --limit-output vcredist-all
