I am trying to get basic games working in steam, so far I have installed CSGO, Terraria & youtubers life unfortunatly I can only seem to play youtubers life. Whenever I try to open up terraria/csgo, steam displays the preparing game pop-up but then nothing happens.
I have installed all suggested drivers from hp support assistant as well as intel driver update utility, also directly from the HP website. I have tried running the games in multiple compatibility modes also running them as an admin. I have played around with security access options as well as editing .dll files. I have also tried verifying the games cache. On top of all of these things I have tried reinstalling steam, the games themselves as well as windows 10.
If it helps at all, whenever I try to install graphics drivers using the intel driver update utility I get an error message
stating that "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer."
Perhaps it is to do with direct x?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
