Windows 10 DirectX Renderer Issues

Ever since I have installed Windows Technical Preview I have been unable to play any games at all on my PC, games that previously worked fine. No matter what game I open it displays the error: "FATAL ERROR: Cannot initialize renderer" I have researched this error and many have said that my graphics card maybe out dated or not good enough to run the game but I know for a fact this is not the case. I have had a look through the windows forums and there are other that have had this issue and it appears to be because of the Windows Technical Preview. This is something that needs to be fixed ASAP if there is anyone that has a way to fix this I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

    You forgot to describe your system, so I'll just relate my story.  I'm using a notebook with integrated Intel 4600 HD graphics and dedicated Nvidia GTX780M graphics.  While using the Microsoft Basic Display driver, or a certain Intel driver, I was unable to play my games.  But now that I have installed the latest Intel driver from my manufacturer, I have no issues playing any game.  I don't know if this story helps at all.  If not... Contact your video card or system manufacturer and demand a WinTP compatible driver ASAP, because they're the ones who will need to make sure their drivers are compatible.

    Good luck!  Have a good one!
