I’m posting here out of desperation. I’ve been unable to resolve this for over a week now.
Nothing that runs Direct3D works right now. The UE editor and Vulkan games are fine and the two video cards I’ve tried are fine, but D3D won’t initialise with either. I get error code 8876086a when trying to load various D3D games.
I’ve done several clean video driver installs (and as mentioned games like Doom run flawlessly) and I’ve tried older driver versions. I’ve been testing with a GTX 1080 Ti and an RTX 2080 Ti.
The RTX 2080 Ti is new but it ran OK with it for three or four days. I suspect the failure happened around the time I updated Visual Studio but updating it again and doing a repair hasn’t helped.
There’s some suggestions online to try to fully enable hardware acceleration but that option has been removed from Windows 10.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it short of reinstalling Windows?
