Windows 10: DirectX "DXerror.log and directx.log" error / some steam games not launching

So i've been having some problems with Steam Games not launching, and after a lot of troubleshooting attempts I tried installing DirectX again, but once i used the "DXSETUP" one, it gives the "DXerror.log and directx.log" error. Opening the DXerror.log I have:



[03/24/20 10:21:41] module: dxupdateJan 24 2007, file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 2223, function: RegisterDLL



Failed API: LoadLibraryEx

Error: 193 - %1 não é um aplicativo Win32 válido. English: is not a Win32 valid app




Unable to load C:\WINDOWS\system32\xactengine2_1.dll.

[03/24/20 10:21:41] module: dxupdateJan 24 2007, file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 5815, function: DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn



RegisterDllFromSection failed.



--------------------

[03/24/20 10:21:41] module: dsetup32Jan 24 2007, file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 280, function: CSetup::InstallPlugIn



DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn failed.

[03/24/20 10:21:41] module: dsetup32Jan 24 2007, file: setup.cpp, line: 1701, function: CSetup::SetupForDirectX



InstallPlugIn failed.




After this i've tried various methods such as running the commands "chkdsk", "dism CheckHealth", "dism RestoreHealth" , "scf /scannow" but none of those helped.


Using "dxdiag" it doesn't show anything unusual and I'm running DirectX 12 at the most recent Windows 10 build as of the time of writing. And yes, all my drivers are up to date.

Interesting. This is the second thread in two days regarding Steam having DirectX problems with new machines,

and getting errors when the game tries to install DirectX

(which is already fully installed in Win10. Or should be, but games don't bother asking permission to install DX any more.

They just go ahead and install DX automatically, which can corrupt some DX files at times).

Your post seems to verify there is an issue with Steam, but the other person tried reinstalling the Steam client and that didn't help.

Still don't know what the real issue is. Have a read of that thread.

Don't post on his thread though. Come back here with your comments and updates on your problem.

DirectX problem,Steam games stopped working

Hello Guys,

Here's the problem:

All of a sudden all of my Steam games stopped working. Although I have DirectX 12 installed (checked in dxdiag) Steam is telling me I need the latest version of DirectX (r). The fun thing is that I can still play The division and League (Basically all games
not required to be launched via Steam).

Things I've tried to fix:

- I ran sfc /scannow and it found zero problems.

- I checked dxdiag and I have DirectX 12 installed

- I have updated my graphics driver to all the latest versions

- I tried to reset my pc for a clean install and it failed due to an unknown error multiple times

- I tried to download the latest versions of DirectX from the official Microsoft website but the installation keeps failing due to an internal system error.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
