Windows 10: How to enable Direct3D 9 debug output on Windows 10?

I'm trying to figure out a bug with a Direct3D 9 app on a Windows 10 system. I've tried installing the DirectX SDK and opening its control panel as on previous Windows versions to enable running Direct3D in debug mode, but the options to enable it are all greyed out including while running it as Administrator:Both the 32-bit and 64-bit DirectX Control Panel apps have all of these control greyed out.I also tried manually changing the HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Direct3D\LoadDebugRuntime to 1, but that didn't seem to have any effect i.e. still no D3D debug output in DebugView.What

enabling JIT debugging / HP simplified not found

Hi Alex,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.



I suggest you to follow the below procedure and check if it helps.

Just-In-Time debugging is a feature that launches the Visual Studio debugger automatically when a program, running outside Visual Studio, encounters a fatal error. Just-In-Time debugging allows you to examine the error
before the application is terminated by the operating system. The Visual Studio debugger does not need to be running when the error occurs.



To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging

In Visual Studio,

• 
  On the Tools menu, click Options.
  
• 
  In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
  
• 
  In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
  
• 
  In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types: Managed, Native, or Script.
  

To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are
required to change that key.

• 
  Click OK.

BitLocker won't enable on Windows 10 after update on Aug 9

Hi Brenda,

I would be happy to assist you.

Before I assist you I would like to know the information below,

• 
  Do you have a Windows 10 copy of the operating system?
  

I suggest you check whether the Bit locker is ON or OFF using the steps below.

Can you verify if BitLocker is enabled or disabled on your device? You can Enable/disable BitLocker by going to Desktop and follow these steps:

• 
  Swipe Right to Left to bring up the Charm.
  
• 
  Choose Settings.
  
• 
  Choose Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• 
  Verify whether BitLocker is on or off on each device.
  

Also I suggest you to enable the WinRE so that you can enter the bit locker key and proceed.

When WinRE is disabled, you cannot enable BitLocker, and you receive an error message that resembles the following.

This PC doesn't support entering a BitLocker recovery password during startup. Ask your administrator to configure Windows Recovery Environment so that you can use BitLocker.

The solution would be to manually enable the windows recovery environment:

• 
  Copying the winre.wim file from c:\windows\system32\recovery\ to a folder on a recovery partition. (The partition need to have a drive letter at this point.)
  
• 
  Set the RE Image path. Example: reagentc /setreimage /path r:\recovery\windowsre
  
• 
  Enable RE with command: reagentc /enable
  
• 
  (You may remove the drive letter for the recovery partition after you have done this.)
  
• 
  Bit locker will be enabled.
  

If the issue still persists, suggest you to post your query on the below link.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Thank you.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
