How to fix error dxgi-error-more-data in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Win + I to open Settings, then go to System → Display. Scroll down and click 'Advanced display settings'. Note the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. If you have multiple monitors, try setting them to a lower resolution temporarily to see if the error stops. This reduces the amount of data the system needs to provide, which might fix the buffer overflow.
2. 2 Press Win + R, type 'dxdiag' and press Enter. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, go to the 'Display' tab and check the 'Display Modes' section. If you see many modes listed, try reducing the number of available modes by lowering the resolution or refresh rate in Windows settings. This can help if the application is querying all modes and the buffer is too small.
3. 3 If you're using a specific application, check for updates. Developers often fix buffer size issues in patches. Visit the official website or the app's update mechanism to ensure you have the latest version.
4. 4 Press Win + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Display adapters', right-click your graphics card, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. An updated driver might handle buffer allocation better.
5. 5 If the error occurs in a game, try lowering the graphics settings, especially resolution and texture quality. This reduces the amount of data the game requests from the graphics system, potentially avoiding the buffer overflow.
