Windows 10: All attempts to install DirectX end in failure

I have been unable to play any games on Steam because as part of the installation process, they all install DirectX 9. I have done multiple clean installs of Win11, run all Steam install attempts as admin, have tried to manually install DirectX using the DXSETUP executable that comes with Steam's _commondistr package, I have tried using the webupdate utility and have downloaded and tried to install using the standalone version. All result in some variation of the same set of errors listed in the DXerror log: -------------------- [07/07/24 11:41:49] module: dxupdateMar 30 2011, file: dxupda

:)

 

DirectX installation failed

Thank you for letting me know. I'd suggest to try running the DirectX installers below and check if the installation will proceed:

• DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
  
• DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Will keep an eye out for you response.

Regards.
