directx 12 not working?
hey im trying to play any game really on my laptop and it's not working. the error code that comes up is "directx 12 is not supported on your system. please update your windows 10 64-bit operating system (version 1909 or later) and upgrade your graphics card driver. ensure that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements (nvidia gtx 1060 or amd rx 580)"

i'm pretty sure i've installed what i needed, newest intel driver and no updates to be installed on here. i've seen that others have restarted their computers to make it work and it does but i have tried that a few times already and it's not working. installing the nvidia driver doesn't work cause i don't have that? and the amd is confusing me cause i can't figure out what that it is.

i have a lenovo yoga 7 with a amd ryzen processor, not sure what any of that means because i have little to no experience with computers at all. so, please if anyone has any tips or ways to help, tell me as if i'm 5 years old. i have no tech friends so this is all i can do.

Was this for work/creativity? Or did get this solely for gaming? If got it just for gaming, then you could've gotten something WAY better that give ~450% more performance for maybe same price got it. Imagine a bicycle vs sports car in a race that how big of a performance gap we're talking.

If got this recently from the store, and still within refund policy, my suggestion refund it, and get a GOOD laptop.

If you bought this 2nd hand from eBay, or something well not much can do about it.





Now this what to do, make sure your Windows is FULLY updated, once that done, make sure open up AMD control panel have the latest version, if not do update. If don't got it, here site. Use auto detect take the thinking out for you.
https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html

Now make sure verify game files on Steam, and make sure always click yes for games when launching for 1st time after downloading them to install drivers needed for them to running them.

If still need help we help.

i got this laptop a few years ago, less than 5 years i believe and it's basically just an upgrade from a chromebook because i rlly use my laptop for basic bs like watching youtube, twitch, surfing the internet and real normie stuff. i bought it from bestbuy completely new. the amd thing you linked said i didn't have what it needed? i think i may have gotten the specs wrong on my laptop cause i took the info from the website of this laptop but it might be a newer build, as i said i'm bad with computers, im sorry about that.

If this is correct you do not have AMD you're using intel that why AMD won't install.

No idea how much spend for this, hope got it really cheap.

Lenovo site took down product page so can't see specs, but found review on it that detail somethings about it.
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/lenovo-yoga-7i-16-gen-7-2022

Now if got it near price what in that review for MSRP then you could've got a good high end laptop just like the example I made bicycle vs sports car race for less.

BTW there couple models using 82QG so there one with i5, and another with i7, ranging from $800 ~ $1400 MSRP again if spent anywhere near these prices you got rip off if did it solely for gaming.

See no one reply, and since this got necro by someone, have you gone to intel site, and updated your driver?
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/132221/intel-core-i51240p-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz/downloads.html

Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows* <--- That what you want if using Windows.

For you, make sure your windows 10 fully updated, shouldn't be on any old builds should be on 22H2, next you need the LATEST driver for your AMD GPU.

The only issue I can see it not working is if game using DX12_2 / DX12 Ultimate which be your problem.

In search bar on your windows tab type "dxdiag" without quotes, now new window appears, click on all Display tab if it just 1 that fine, in the display tab, you're looking for to the right box area "Drivers" From there you see down the list "Features Level" You see 12_2 12_1 12_0 11_1 and so on, if you don't see DX12_2 there at all that meant you don't support the game that using DX12_2 / Ultimate.
thanks for the help. i followed a lot of links for dx12 drivers an found the right one for amd rx580 driver down load. AMD Software Adrenalin Edition. seems to be working fine now . It's got to have plp to help us on these problems . I kept getting on the wrong link. lol now i just need to go thu an delete all this other useless stuff . thanks again for the fast reply

No worries glad your issue got resolved. Yeah sometimes search engines doesn't always help, and some people just lead others in loop with links that doesn't answer questions, or solving the issue may see on reddit, or etc...
