Different versions of software may need different versions of DirectX. What version of Premiere Elements?

If the solution provided by Ussnorway doesn't work:

Microsoft DirectX 9 or 10 compatible sound and display driver

from here:

Adobe Premiere Elements system requirements

You can download from here:

Download DirectX 9.0c (Jun 10) - FileHippo.com

I felt far more comfortable downloading the legacy DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime directly from the Windows XP section of Microsoft's own site...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/179113/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-directx

It's obviously intended to install/work alongside more recent versions of DirectX because it states

"When you run this package, no change is made to your version of DirectX"

I installed it while logged in as an Administrator, rebooted and enabled DirectPlay as described above and now Elements 13 is working on my Windows 10 machine (the DirectX diagnostic tool dxdiag still reports that DirectX 12 is installed).
