    Applications using Directx stopped working.

    Hi,

    Seems that you're done with some troubleshooting steps like uninstalling the game, reinstalling DirectX and updating the drivers for your Ibuypower WA563R7 running Windows 10 computer. To assist you with your concern, we suggest that you follow the steps
    provided below. If you're done with the first one, you may proceed to the other possible solution:

    • Install the previous version of DirectX - To do that, you can download the installer from this
      link.
    • Reinstall your graphic card drivers. - To do so, follow these steps:
    • Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager.
    • Go to Display Adapters and locate graphic driver.
    • Right click the driver and choose Uninstall.
    • Check Remove the driver software for this device and click
      OK
      .
    • Restart your computer once you're done uninstalling the driver.
    • When computer restarts, go to graphic card manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your graphic card.
    • Install the downloaded drivers.
    3. Reinstall one of the previous updates. - Some installed updates can cause issues with DirectX. if that's the case, you might have to uninstall those updates.

    Do update us with the results.

    Thank you.
