How to fix error d3derr-devicenotreset in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'dxdiag', and press Enter. Go to the 'Display' tab and check the 'Driver Version'. If it's outdated, proceed to update it.
2. 2 Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Display adapters', right-click your GPU, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. If no update is found, go to your GPU manufacturer's website and download the latest driver. This often fixes the underlying issue.
3. 3 If the error occurs when you change resolution or alt-tab, try running the game in 'Windowed' mode. You can change this in the game's video settings. This prevents the display mode from changing, which can cause the device to need a reset.
4. 4 Press Windows key + R, type 'regedit', and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Direct3D. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named 'AutoReset' and set it to 1. This tells Direct3D to automatically reset the device when it's lost, which can prevent the error. If the key exists, modify it to 1.
5. 5 If you're using a mod or custom resolution, remove or reset it. Sometimes mods can cause the device to become lost and not reset properly.
6. 6 Press Windows key + X and select 'Windows Terminal (Admin)'. Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. After it finishes, type 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. This repairs system files that might be interfering.
