DirectXis a collection of APIs for enhancing multimedia including video, sound, and gaming.
Microsoft used to offer new versions ofDirectX as separate downloads.
Although DirectX downloads are still available but from Windows 10, DirectX is updated using Windows Update.
It seems like Microsoft is changing the strategy again and DirectX will be offered in Microsoft Store.
If you go to Microsoft Store and search for DirectX, you will not find anything.
But if you go to thisStore link, you will come across an entryDirectX Runtime.
Interestingly, the title of the page says Buy DirectX Runtime.
But the page says that DirectX Runtime is currently not available.
The availability of the runtime is for Xbox One, HoloLens, PC, Mobile equipment and Hub.
The release date is listed as 27th November 2018 and the size is 126.7 MB.
It is available for both 64-bit and 32-bit systems and it is available for all Windows update rings.
And the Windows version should be 18200.0 or higher meaning thatWindows 10 Version 1903will be compatible.
I installed the package on my test system.
It will help users update the runtime instantly when an update is available.
Its only a matter of time when Microsoft makes it available to everyone in the store.
The only thing that worries me is the title of the Store page which says Buy DirectX Runtime.
Will Microsoft make the DirectX update paid?
Lets wait and see what happens.
