Directx - this is what the launch of modern games is not without, what allows us to watch the video and engage in its installation, which saves us from numerous “glitches” and “brakes” when working with many applications. It is such a vague, but still fundamentally true definition that exists among PC users. Directx is a certain set of functions necessary for the proper operation of other utilities. Simply put, this is software that is used in video programming, when creating various multimedia applications and, of course, computer games.
Why do I need to update Directx
Another name is the driver. Driver data is constantly updated almost every three months. Most people do not think about such things, because the computer is working, which means that everything is in order. But sooner or later, serene users face a problem. The main difficulty is that the new programs that the owner installs on his computer are sharpened specifically for the latest versions of Directx. Therefore, such an important condition for ensuring the operability of applications and the PC itself is the timely update of drivers. But how do you find out the version of installed software to find out if it is outdated or not?
How and where to find out the software version
It is not difficult to do this, just use the built-in “execute” function in the start menu. The dxdiag command will open a new window on our desktop. Here you need to select the first tab called "system". Most likely, it will already be open automatically. In the system information section (at the very bottom of the list) there will also be data on the version of Directx installed on the computer. If it turns out that the drivers on your machine are hopelessly outdated, you should not download them from the first link you get. For these purposes, it is better to go to the official Microsoft website.
The solution with installing an updated version of Directx is usually a simple upgrade. Firstly, it is much easier and faster than reinstalling something. Another reason is that not everyone knows how to remove Directx. And this is not surprising. Unlike any programs, it is impossible to completely uninstall drivers from the system. At least that’s the official statement of the development team.
Of course, absolutely impossible tasks do not exist. The craftsmen created special utilities that easily solve such a problem as removing Directx. Removing any driver with their help is a matter of minutes. The user will need only minimal participation and a little patience.
How to remove Directx 11
Sometimes when updating an annoying error occurs that does not allow you to perform this procedure in the usual way. There may be several reasons for this. Most often, the main culprit will be a damaged previous version of the driver, on which the update is installed “crookedly”. Then the user has no choice but to remove Directx from the system and then perform the installation cleanly. To remove the eleventh series, we need the appropriate utilities. It is best to use the DirectX Happy Uninstall program.
It is able to work with all versions of drivers installed in the system, from the outdated ninth to the most modern versions of the eleventh Directx. True, in the latter case, you will need to find the current version of the utility itself, since the list of supported drivers expands with the release of each update. It also supports absolutely any Windows operating system.
It should be noted that uninstalling drivers using DirectX Happy Uninstall is performed in the most convenient and safe mode for users. A useful function is built into the utility to return to the previous state of the system. Therefore, with unsuccessful actions, it will always be possible to undo all changes made by the program.
