DIsable Directdraw DirectX12

I am trying to run an old game on an HP laptop purchased last June, it has Windows 10 and Directtx12. Apparently I need to disable Directdraw to allow the game to run. I have been following the thread partially shown below but it doesn't seem to apply.
Can someone help? Thanks.

I am trying to disable 3D hardware acceleration.

Previous versions of windows had a slider to do this under a "troubleshooting" tab, but windows 10 does not.

How can I do this now?

Is there someway I can edit the registry?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Arvind,

I Can't seem to find any of the options you suggested on Windows 10.

When i right click on the desktop this is displayed:

 

DirectDraw Unsupported??

Hi Ella,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• Which games are you referring to?
• Are the games compatible with Windows 10?
• Have you installed all the required updates?

From the error message you have mentioned it appears that there is some issue with the direct draw feature of DirectX.
The DirectDraw API provides support for hardware-accelerated 2-D graphics. It offers fast access to display hardware while retaining compatibility with the Windows graphics device interface.



However, DirectDraw is no longer recommended for use. With the release of Direct3D 9.0, all two-dimensional functionality is contained within Direct3D, its associated helper functions in D3DX, and the DirectX
11 technology Direct2D. Since Windows 10 comes with integrated DirectX 12, some programs that still use DirectX 9 or previous versions might not work properly in Windows 10. In this case, I would suggest you to try installing
DirectX End-User Runtime and check. When you run this package, no change is made to your version of DirectX, Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10.x, Direct3D 11.x, DirectInput, DirectSound, DirectPlay, DirectShow, or DirectMusic. Here is a link to download it:
