  1. Upgrading to windows 10 breaks DirectX 11 on all computers


    I have tried it in windows XP, windows 7 and even windows 8.1 computers with integrated graphics, and when I install windows 10 to them it says it has DirectX 12 in dxdiag. But when I run DirectX11 programs or higher, they crash saying it's not compatible anymore, that DirectX 11 or 12 files are missing, and I can't automatically or manually install them. All of these computers originally have DirectX 11, but it won't detect it.The windows 10 version I installed on them is 22h2I can't find any fixes online, this is my last hope before I downgrade them to play anything from the last decade onwa

    Upgrading to windows 10 breaks DirectX 11 on all computers

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
