"installed device does not support directx 11" error. Need help!!!

[reach756]

I can't seem to get pass this. I'm running a gtx 970 and already removed the old drivers then install the new drivers. I tried going into my BIOS to see if it's using my integrated graphics (I'm using a i7 cpu) but the only option i get is either pci or pci express. Intel is also not listed in my device manager, only gtx 970 is listed. Nvidia control panel does not help either, doesn't have an option to let me change primary video cards.

I'm at a lost and this is gettitng fustrating.

Silly question but...did you install DirectX libraries in the first place? Are you perhaps getting that message while trying to do so?

List your spec

How do I check if I have directx install?

Spec is:
intel i7 3.4ghz
gtx 970
8gb ram
asrock extreme 4 gen 3 (mobo)
asus xonar essence (audio card)

I ran dxdiag and it's showing me directx 11

if it helps, i'm able to run the game perfectly after doing another driver update, but i'll have to update the driver everytime i restart my computer if i want to play the game.

Both options here are VERY theoretical, as I can't think of anything else at the moment. There's a slight chance they'll work, but I'm not entirely sure of that, sorry...

Try installing something else and see if the same thing happens. If it does, you might have set your system to keep a read-only state, either voluntarily or not.
It's different in each PC, so I can't help accurately, but usually it's called AnyProtect, and you should be able to disable it via the control panel.

It can also happen, although VERY rarely, because of a virus (or at least did to me once, back in windows XP days); if you don't have one, download and install a good antivir (e.g. Avast) and Malwarebytes, run them both and report your results once they're done.

I dont have AnyProtect install and I already try installing two different games that gave me the same problem. How do i change my system to read only?
