Windows 10: directX

I have a GeForce GTS 450 card. No reason to change that.
Some year ago I had on my PC (W10 Pro 64 bit) directX 11.2 installed. With this card it had no sense to upgrade to directX 12.
With a certain app I get now the message: no directX installed (this app is not really important to me).
Surprised, I checked that, and see that during some Windows update now directX 12 is installed on my system.
Should I do something? Uninstalling 12 and re-installing 11.2? Does not seem wise, since with the next Windows update it will install again 12, I assume.

Windows 10 DirectX problem.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

First, I would suggest you to check that which version of Direct X is currently installed on your computer.

To use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to determine the version of DirectX that is installed on your computer, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then click Run.
• Type dxdiag, and then click OK.
• On the System tab, note the version of DirectX that is displayed on the DirectX Version line.
• On the various tabs, check the version information for each DirectX file.
• When you are finished checking file versions, click Exit.

If Windows cannot find the dxdiag program, DirectX installed on your computer. If this is the case, download and install the latest version of DirectX.
