    DirectX 12 downgrade to directx11 due to Graphic card request.

    You cannot downgrade DirectX 12 to DirectX 11.

    DirectX 12 is backward compatible with previous versions of DirectX

    Lots of users have installed DirectX 11 for gaming purposes and this has caused system crashes, BSOD's . . . etc.

    The best solution is run the apps that require DirectX 11 in compatibility Mode and choose Windows 8 compatibility

    how to downgrade from directx 12 to directx 11

    Hi oyxls

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    DirectX 12 is fully backwards compatible to version 11, if you have DirectX12 installed, there should be no problem with DirectX 11 games.

    2

    Click your Start Button, then just type dxdiag and press Enter.

    Select the Display tab on the resulting DirectX utility

    Please provide a screenshot of that Display tab.

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    There is no way to downgrade from DirectX12 to DirectX 11, one version does not overwrite the other, they are installed side by side.

    What happens when you try to open the game?
