DirectX is one of the core technologies behind games and video programs on Windows, which means that if it fails, you'll likely encounter some errors. You can try restoring your system to a state before the last update, or repairing your DirectX files.
1-Open the System Restore tool. Performing a System Restore is the easiest way to uninstall a DirectX update, as there is no official way to uninstall DirectX. You will need a restore point from before you installed DirectX, which is usually created during the installation process. Using System Restore will uninstall and undo ALL changes made since the restore point was created, so it should be used very soon after installing the DirectX update.
Windows 8 – Open the Start screen and type /"recovery/". Select /"Recovery/" from the list of search results. This will open the recovery window. There, click the /"Open System Restore/" link.
Windows 7 and Vista – Click Start and type /restore/ in the search box. Select /System Restore/ from the top of the list of search results.
Windows XP – Click Start, then select All Programs → Accessories → System Tools. Click System Restore.
2-Select your restore point. You will be presented with a list of available restore points. Compare the dates to find one that was created before DirectX was updated. Click "Scan for affected programs" to make sure DirectX is reset.
Remember that anything installed or updated between then and now will be removed. Any programs that were installed then but are no longer there will be reinstalled.
3-Perform the restore. After selecting your restore point, wait for the restore to complete. The restore process may take quite a while. The computer will restart during the restore process and then Windows will load with a message confirming that the restore was successful.
4-Check if DirectX has been reset. Once Windows starts again, open the Run window by pressing Windows Key + R and type /"dxdiag/
