How to Check Direct X Version in Windows 11

How to Check Direct X Version in Windows 11

February 27, 2023 by Mitch Bartlett 7 Comments

I have recently been having problems getting games to work in Microsoft Windows 11. Finding the version of Direct X installed on my PC was key in troubleshooting the issues. Here’s how you can find the version.

  1. Hold down the “Windows Key” and press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.
  2. Type “dxdiag“, then select “OK“.
  3. Select “Yes” if prompted with a dialog box. The version of DirectX you are currently running will be displayed on your screen.

The command actually works on all current versions of Windows.

    Which windows 10 version has dx 11 after installation. Because mine always gives me dx12 of which I prefer dx11 instead.
