Windows 10: I need to freshly reinstall DirectX12 on a Windows11 system

I need to force a fresh reinstall of DX12 on a Windows11 machine.My wife and I are troubleshooting a Black Screen of Death crash issue: My wife's computer consistently has issues with a game crashing her computer, and reading the logs, we suspect that her DirectX12 files may be corrupted. The message is below:"SharpDX.SharpDXException: HRESULT: [0x887A0005], Module: [SharpDX.DXGI], ApiCode: [DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED/DeviceRemoved], Message: The GPU device instance has been suspended."

Games run slow unless I force directx12

My pc suddenly has problems running a lot of games, while it's specs are quite high.

It used to be able to run almost any game, but it currently has issues running any game I try.

It has no issues outside of running games, other things work just fine.

The games run at about ~15 fps, while I should be easily able to run them.

I have been able to fix 2 games using steam flags:

• Dead by Daylight by using the -dx12 flag
  
• Rimworld by using the -force-d3d12
  

So both of these flags force the game to run using directx12, but I have no idea why this works. I would force every game to run in directx12 if I could, but I can't find the needed flags for all of them and it's quite tedious so I would prefer a more permanent solution.

dxdiag says the directx version is 12, and every directx or .net repair tool I found says everything looks good.

I have tried to find a way to reinstall directx12, but that doesn't seem possible unless I'm missing something.

Other things I have tried:

• reinstalling drivers using Geforce Experience
  
• reinstalling multiple games
  
• selecting high performance options in nvidia control panel and windows settings

Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
