If it exists then you will get it through Microsoft Update or Windows
Update. Also, when you install anything new and if it requires latest
version then you will be prompted to install the latest version. See
this article if you are still desperate:

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/179113/

So you think latest is the best right?

Good luck.

I did a quick search for "download Direct X 11" and I'll be darned if I
didn't get this as the first link:

You sure you don't already have it (or 11.2)? When you dxdiag.exe, what
does it report as the version of DX? It's at the bottom of the System
Information section under the System tab.

Not a valid signature delimiter (which is dash-dash-space-newline, not
dash-dash-dash-newline). That's a fake signature delimiter line.

That link is to download a *.zip file with content of a Powerpoint

Hi, Vanguard.

Thanks for that link. I had already run dxdiag.exe and was disappointed
that it said my 8.1 pro w/Media Center system was running DirectX 11, which
I assumed meant 11.0. But that Support page says, near the bottom:
"Note Currently, DirectX Diagnostic Tool may show DirectX 11 as the DirectX
version number for DirectX 11.2 and DirectX 11.1."

Since my system is fully Updated, I must actually have Direct X 11.2. ;)

Hi, RC.

Direct X, for me, has always been one of confusion. I recall on my last
desktop system that had Win7 Sp1 but older hardware (2005 era). Windows
provided the latest DX with Win7Sp1 or via WU and DX reported the latest
as present...yet checking the Intel Graphics Control Panel indicated it
was a lower version. Which seemed to indicate that Windows might
provide the latest but the hardware still decides/chooses what version
it can use/support.

Today, I'm on Win8.1 Pro fully updated (including that last monster
November rollup) on an Intel i3. Dxdiag reports version 11 (not 11.1 or
11.2 as the KB articles indicates as a possibility)...yet if I run the
Intel HD Graphics Control Panel system information tool it reports I'm
using 10.1.

Lol...More of the same confusion for the same pile.

What I do know g....Everything works just fine...and for my usage I
probably wouldn't even notice or have a need for the latest DX version.

And for more confusion, the registry keys at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ DirectX
report a really old version. I'm on Win7 now and those keys say that I
have 4.09. Uh huh.

Then I looked at the details property of:
C:\Windows\System32\d3d11.dll
That says "product version 6.2.9200.16570". This is not getting any
less confusing.

I used AMD Catalyst to show software information. Alas, that doesn't
tell me the DirectX API version in Windows but just the versions of
AMD's drivers.

Since DirectX is a collection of various APIs, could be they're at
varying versions and "11" (or "11.1" or "11.2") merely reflects the
collection's version, not the version of any particular component.

you are all now getting the same confusing advice that i had, my dxdiag
shows ver.11 but in the distant past i seem to remember you could update
your system on the last page of dxdiag. All I wanted to do was reinstall
it, which we used to be able to do.

If your system is using Windows 8, Direct X can't be 'reinstalled' or
'removed and reinstalled'. Win8 includes the latest Direct X and the
only route to install/update is via Windows Update. If Windows Update
doesn't offer then what you have is it. The only other route would be
to completely reinstall Windows (and most likely the same exact version
will be present until Windows Update offers a updated version...and that
doesn't happen very often during a product's lifecycle.
