Problem starting games since the 1803 update
Since the 1803 update I've been getting intermittent failures to start Steam and Origin Games. I get the error message:_
"DirectX failed to initialise. This game requires at least a DirectX11-level graphics card, and a version of Windows which supports DirectX11 (WindowsXP is not supported). Error code: -2147024882."
and the game will not start. With the slightly older Origin game I get the same message except it it for DirectX10.
Resetting the computer solves the problem temporarily and the game/s will then start as normal. Nothing has changed on the system other than the 1803 update. I am running a Mesh computer with AMD Ryzen 7, 16Gb memory and use a Geforce GTX980 Ti video card which is more than capable of handling such games.
In case the problem continues to occur, has anyone any ideas as to how 1803 is causing this problem, and if I can do anything about it?
