How to fix error dxgi-error-invalid-call in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Win + I to open Settings, then go to Windows Update and click 'Check for updates'. Install any pending updates, including optional updates. This ensures your system has the latest fixes and compatibility patches that might resolve the invalid call.
2. 2 Press Win + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Display adapters', right-click your graphics card, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. If Windows doesn't find a new one, go to your GPU manufacturer's website and download the latest driver manually. Outdated or corrupted drivers are a common cause of this error.
3. 3 Press Win + R, type 'dxdiag' and press Enter. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Check the 'Display' tab for any errors or warnings. Note the driver version and date. If the driver is old, update it. Also, ensure DirectX is up to date by downloading the latest DirectX End-User Runtime from Microsoft's website.
4. 4 If you're using a laptop, ensure it's plugged in and set to 'High Performance' power plan. Press Win + R, type 'powercfg.cpl' and press Enter. Select 'High performance'. This prevents the system from throttling the GPU, which can cause invalid calls.
5. 5 If the error occurs in a specific game, verify the game files. For Steam, right-click the game in your library, select 'Properties', go to 'Local Files', and click 'Verify integrity of game files'. For other platforms, use their respective repair options. This replaces any corrupted game files that might be causing the invalid call.
