    Cant launch any steam games that require directx to be downloaded

    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.
    --- HERE ---

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

    "i have tried many things and none of them seem to work "

    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.
