How to Repair DX11 Feature Level 10.0 Error

Before attempting any of the recommended troubleshooting steps for this specific problem of DX11 Feature Level 10.0  error, try restarting your PC first, as this will usually fix most issues caused by a minor app glitch.

If you see the error message “DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine” on your computer; it usually means you lack the necessary hardware to support Direct3D Feature Level version 10.0. For example, your graphics card driver may be outdated, or you may have a corrupted DirectX installation. The troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue are listed below.

Check the DirectX version on your computer.

The first step, in this case, is to determine which version of DirectX your computer is running.

• Open and select the Run dialogue box (Windows key + R).
• Enter “dxdiag” into the search box.
• The DirectX runtime version information can be seen in the System tab under System Information.

To see if your graphics card can support the required feature levels, go to the Display tab under Drivers and look at which Feature Levels your graphics card supports. For example, if the feature level DX11 Feature Level 10.0 does not appear in the Feature Levels section of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

• Your video card drivers are out of date.
• Your operating system requires an update.
• Feature Level 10.0 is not supported by your graphics card. If this is the cause of the problem, the only solution is to purchase a new graphics card that supports this feature. If you have the resources, make sure to update your graphics card.

If your graphics card supports Feature Level 10.0, but you still have problems, try the steps below.

Use the dedicated graphics card to run the application.

The majority of modern computers have two graphics cards. The first is an onboard graphics adapter, usually built into the processor, and the second is a dedicated graphics card unit. If your PC uses an integrated graphics card, you will need to upgrade to a dedicated graphics card, which is usually the more advanced (with more features like DX11 Feature Level 10.0 ) of the two.

1. To access Device Manager, select right-click on the start menu icon and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Display Adapters, then right-click on the built-in Intel graphics adapter and select Disable device.
3. Your screen will briefly go black, indicating that Windows is switching your graphics card to a dedicated card.
4. Repeat the preceding steps and click on enable device to re-enable your built-in graphics.

Update the driver for your graphics card.

One of the reasons for this problem of DX11 Feature Level 10.0 error is that you do not have the most recent graphics card driver installed. While Windows 10 will usually install the most recent driver for your graphics card, this is not always the case, so you must do it manually.

1. To open Device Manager, press Windows key + R, type “devmgmt.msc,” and press Enter.
2. Expand the Display Adapters drop-down menu. Then, click Update Driver from the context menu when you right-click on the graphics driver (Update Driver Software).
3. click Search automatically for updated driver app and wait for Windows to search the internet for drivers. Please wait until it has been installed and your system has been restarted.
4. If Windows has determined that you are already using the most recent drivers, you should go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the most recent drivers from there.
