Windows 10: Is it possible to install DirectX 11 if you are currently on 12?

Currently getting an error saying, "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error" while trying to play Modern Warfare. I have DirectX 12 and was wondering if I'll have any luck if I install 11 or if it's even possible. I tried running the game itself on 11 as instructed on a video I watched but it still crashed. So I wanted to know if I can basically rollback the whole system to 11. Thanks in advance!

Hello.

I do have directX, but just not 11, i have 12. My question is why I cant run a directX 11 app with directX 12. The link sent was a link to the directX installation. Please read the question before posting the answer.

Thanks!

DirectX 12 to 11 is it possible?

I recently bought the Witcher 3 (Game of the year version) and I was told it was supported by Windows 10 but I can't play it since I have DirectX 12...Is there anyway I can get DirectX 11?

 

Can't buy DirectX 11 required Windows 10 game, have DirectX 12 installed

Hi,

In order to help you effectively, kindly provide us additional information.

• What is the exact error message you're getting? Could you provide us the screenshot?
• How did you install the DirectX 12? Was it manually, or through Windows Update?

If you install DirectX 12 through Windows Update, then we would suggest that you perform a System Restore to take your computer back to an earlier point in time. It will not affect your personal files, but will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed
after the restore point was made.

After the restore, you may then install DirectX 11 through Windows Update. As there is no stand-alone update package for it.

Let us know how it goes.
