Hi,
I am having issues when trying to install DirectX, part way through the installation it fails and advises that "An internal system error has occurred".
I have installed all Windows updates, and I have reinstalled Windows 10 but nothing I have Goolged etc has worked.
Thanks

Hi Abepic,
Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you are facing an issue with installing direct X, I am glad to assist you today.
The issue seems to be the downloaded file is corrupt. To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:
- Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
- Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
- Click OK.
- Are you using any third-party antivirus software? If yes, try to disable it and install the DirectX June 2010.
Meanwhile, we recommend running the System File Checker. It's a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. Refer to the steps below:
1. Click on Start, type in Command Prompt, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
2. Enter the command below:
sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").
Looking forward to your response.
Regards,
HP
