SUMMARY

The DirectX tool in Control Panel is used by software developers to troubleshoot DirectX-based programs. Developers use this tool to disable DirectX features and test for problems that result. This process enables developers to determine what issues you may encounter when you use a program that uses DirectX features. The DirectX tool does not add any new features or functionality to programs.

If you use the DirectX tool improperly, you may damage your program's files or be unable to run your program.

MORE INFORMATION

The DirectX tool in Control Panel is part of the DirectX Software Development Kit (SDK). We do not recommend you install the SDK unless you are a software developer.
