Can't launch games that try to install DirectX
Just got my new pc. It uses windows 10 and it has DirectX 12 installed on it.
Drivers are all updated. I Downloaded doom and it fully installed.
when I go to launch the game it attempts to download DirectX onto the pc even though I already have it and then the bar goes away and it acts like the game launches for like 3 seconds and then nothing happens.
How do I fix this?

It depends on which version the game requires. DirectX 12 is built into Windows 10.

Go here, download DirectX 9.0c and see if this helps your situation.
