Hi @Cassie Newby ,
Please first check whether your graphics hardware and driver expose the required DirectX feature level:
- Press Win + R, type
dxdiagand press Enter. - Open the Display tab.
- Check Feature Levels and note whether 12_0 or 12_1 is listed.
- Also note the graphics card name shown there.
- Update the graphics driver directly from your GPU manufacturer (Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD), then restart the PC and test again.
If the error remains, please share the game/app name, GPU model, and Feature Levels shown in dxdiag. That will help narrow down whether this is a driver issue or a hardware/game requirement.
I hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.
