    Hello , sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    Perform a Clean Boot

    A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

    -Type msconfig in the Windows search bar and select System Configuration.

    -Go to the Services tab, check the box to 'Hide all Microsoft services', and then click 'Disable all'.

    -Go to the Startup tab and click 'Open Task Manager'.

    -Disable all startup items, then close Task Manager and click OK in the System Configuration window.

    -Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved, it will mean that an application at startup is causing this conflict. So, re-enable one service at a time to determine which app is the culprit.

    Other solution:

    Re-register the DLL File

    If the dxcore.dll file is not correctly registered in the system, you can try to manually re-register it.

    -Command Prompt as an administrator.

    -Type the following command and press Enter:

    regsvr32 /u dxcore.dll

    regsvr32 dxcore.dll

    Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    You can try this

    1.

    -Open the Device Manager, expand the "Display adapters" section, right-click your -NVIDIA graphics card, and select "Uninstall device."

    -Check the box to delete the driver software for the device if available.

    -Additionally, use the Control Panel to uninstall all NVIDIA programs, including the GeForce Experience.

    -Navigate to the C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) directories and delete any remaining NVIDIA folders.

    -Reboot Your Computer.

    Reinstall the Latest Drivers:

    -Go to the NVIDIA official website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.

    -Install the drivers and restart your computer.

    2.

    Since NVIDIA components and many other applications rely on Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, a corruption in these files could cause issues.

    -Uninstall all versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from the Control Panel.

    -Download and install the latest redistributables from the Microsoft website.

    3.

    Ensure your system is up to date, as updates can provide fixes for system stability and driver compatibility:

    -Go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update.

    -Click "Check for updates" and install any available updates.
