System doesn't support DirectX 12

When I load Unreal Engine 5, I get this message “System doesn’t support DirectX 12” but I have installed on my PC. I have tried solution I found online but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem.

Btw, I have an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, with drivers updated to the latest version.

Fixed this by updating to Windows version 1909 as specified in the system requirements for Unreal Engine 5. However, since Microsoft has stopped support for Windows 10, the latest version one can update to using the in-built windows update is version 1903.

Luckily, one can get version 1909 using the Windows 10 Update Assistant. Just download it and update. It would take a while to complete, but Unreal Engine 5 should be up and running without that warning.
