Windows 10: Can't install/uninstall/repair directx

So, out of nowhere, my games stopped working, sony vegas freezes, and a lot of other problems wich all say that the reason is Directx. So I've tried to reinstall it, but each time gives me the error "An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine problem".
The DXError.log says:

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.

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

• 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.
