Windows 10: Microsoft Store - Minecraft Windows 10 - Doesnt meet requirements for DirectX

I own this on the PC and have been playing it for months. A new update came out for minecraft and I was not able to automatically update it. I checked the store and it did not show.

In game, i could join one realms. But the other would say that i needed to update. There was an update out.

So I uninstalled it and went to re-install and now it says that I dont meet the requirements. and it shows DirectX as the not met condition.


I'm running DirectX 12 API, Hardware Feature Level 12.




help? lol, i really dont understand why this has happened.

Microsoft Store: DirectX 9 required

Hello,

DirectX is a set of components in Windows that allows software to work directly with your video and audio hardware. The most recent version that is included in Windows 10 would be DirectX 12. Follow the steps below to check which version is installed
on your system:

• From Start, type dxdiag in the Search box, and then press enter.
• Tap or click on dxdiag from the results.
• Check DirectX Version on the first page of the report in the
  System Information section.

If you have DirectX 10 or later, you can install the previous version of DirectX. Some applications require older versions of DirectX in order to run properly, and you have to install it manually. To do that, you can download the installer from

here. After you’ve downloaded the file, install it and restart your computer. After your computer restarts, most DirectX errors should be fixed.

Let us know should you need additional assistance.

Microsoft Store: DirectX 9 required

When I try to install Messenger or Instagram on Windows 10 Version 1709 x86, it automatically cancels and says that my computer doesn't fulfill the requirements. I have a proper version of the system, 2 GB of RAM, and DirectX 9 or 12, but
it still says that DirectX 9 required.

I tried to install DirectX 9, restart the computer, clean the Store cache, but nothing.
