CRITICAL ERROR: Failed to create DirectX device
For a few days now, whenever I've clicked to go to a different webpage in IE11, most of the IE screen has gone black until it gets to the page I want.
Then this morning, when I powered up I got the above message.
I searched here and found many threads, most of which had common advice to run sfc /scannow. I ran this and now have the CBS log on notepad. It shows several programs which couldn't be repaired.
I haven't got MSPaint and it look too long to snip. It's 21 pages long on Word and I'm not sure if that's the best way to send it to you. I'll try - and watch what happens.
In case it's relevant, I still haven't been able to install the latest Microsoft updates - I've tried every day but just can't get through.
Edit: Some of the threads were in Games, others in programs and some in Drivers. If I've put this in the wrong section, would some kind person please move it for me please.
Edit 2: again, in case it's relevant, I just remembered that when I opened IE11, the Norton task bar was showing although it was ticked at the top. So I restarted IE11
