Sometimes users watch it when Windows starts. This error is in no way related to hardware or other programs. Occurs directly in the component itself. Let's take a closer look at the reasons for its appearance.
Why does Microsoft .NET Framework: "Initialization error" occur?
If you see such a message, for example, when starting Windows, this indicates that some program is at startup and accesses the Microsoft component. NET Framework, which in turn throws an error. The same is true when launching a certain game or program. There are several causes and solutions to the problem.
Microsoft .NET Framework not installed

One of the typical questions
Hello.
I get a "Direct3D initialization error" error when launching some games on Windows 10. Windows came with the laptop, a "Home single language" version. Can you tell me if this error is due to Windows versions, and how to fix it?
Good day!
In general, such a mistake is not uncommon, especially after reinstalling windows(in your case, after buying a laptop, since stores rarely install everything required libraries and drivers necessary for the comfortable operation of the device). It appears, as a rule, after trying to start some game - either immediately, or the game will just have a black screen, and by minimizing it you will see this window.
In this article I will focus on the main reasons for the appearance of such an error, and show an example of how to get rid of it...
DirectX update
The most common reason for such an error to appear is due to the lack of the DirectX library. Moreover, it is not necessary that you do not have it installed, perhaps you simply do not have a specific file from the library.
The page on the Microsoft site for downloading a modern version of DirectX is -
More old version DirectX 9.0c is available at the link -
To find out which DirectX you have on your PC, click:
- button combination Win+R to open the " Run";
- then enter the command dxdiag and press Enter (see screenshot below).
Further in the tab "System" all required data will be presented: your Windows OS version, your video card, sound device, BIOS version, and DirectX version (see the red square on the screen below).
DirectX Diagnostic Tool / Clickable
To update DirectX Microsoft website has . Go to the desired page and download it. Next, run, agree to the terms license agreement, and wait while the wizard is running.
At the end of the operation, you should see a message stating that the installation of DirectX has been completed, the necessary packages have been updated, etc. Or, alternatively, the wizard will inform you that a new version DirectX is already installed and does not need to be updated. I recommend that you restart your computer after that, and then try to start the game.
As a rule, after such an update, the game starts working as it should.
ADDITION!
If you don't have internet (either it's slow or the Microsoft site is down, giving an error, etc.), DirectX can be updated with games: almost half of the game discs have a new version of DirectX (note: new at game launch, of course) . Therefore, you just need to take a more or less modern game and install it, update DirectX.
Video card driver problem
If the error still appears, perhaps your video card is disabled in the device manager (this may be, for example, for laptops with 2 video cards), or you simply do not have updated / installed drivers for the video card.
How to check for drivers and if the graphics card is enabled
The easiest way is to use Device Manager. To open it:
- click buttons Win+R;
- then enter devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
Next, open the tab "Video adapters" , and see if all video cards are turned on and if there is a yellow exclamation mark next to them (indicating driver problems, for example -).
The screenshot below shows that one video adapter is disabled and not used. Often the error with Direct3D is related to this.
To enable an adapter, simply click on it. right click mouse and select a function "Engage" . Screenshot example below.
After that, restart your computer, then try to open the game.
ADDITION!
In some cases, one of the video cards may be disabled in Computer BIOS (for example, if you have a discrete and integrated video card on your laptop). To check if this is the case, go into the BIOS, usually in the section MAIN you can find the graphics mode (Graphic mode). An example is shown in the photo below.
How to enter BIOS -
Buttons for entering the BIOS for different manufacturers of laptops / PCs -
How to update video card drivers:
- Method number 1: go to the official website of your laptop manufacturer and download them from there. If you do not know the exact laptop model, use the programs to determine the characteristics of the computer -
- Method number 2: use special programs for automatic search and driver updates. The simplest and fast option, in fact. In addition, the programs will check the necessary libraries for games (for example, Drive Booster, I recommend) -
- Method number 3: work in manual mode, through the device manager. See here for more details on this:
Use compatibility mode
Not so long ago I tested a laptop with a relatively new AMD processor Ryzen 5 2500U and ran into one interesting feature...
Updated DirectX, installed everything required drivers, various packages and add-ons for games - however, some games did not start, showing a Direct3D error ... (feature: all the games were old, which led to different thoughts ...).
I was quite surprised when I opened properties executable file games, went to the tab "Compatibility" and ticked the box next to "Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 2" - the game started to work normally, there were no more errors related to Direct3D...
Examples of what to do are shown in the screenshots below ...
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 2
