Graphics issue warning/wrong Directx

Anonymous
Not applicable

Good day all, newbie here. Just started learning fusion360 the other day. I fired up 360 and shortly after I got a graphics warning banner. 

 

Went to the diagnostics in help and it came back with it saying I have Directx 9. My computer has Directx 12. Anyone know why this would come up as 9 and not 12?

 

My computer meets and exceeds the required specs. Oh and I did a search before posting. Couldn't find anything on this topic that was new. Thank you for any help you may give

Sorry took me so long to get back. The graphics driver is set to Auto-select. Should I change it?

I would give it a try, you cannot hurt anything.  Since you are on Windows operating system, you can go to the Run line and enter Dxdiag and view if you system has an errors with DirectX.  If you have the OpenGL Core Profile, you might even try that.  One thing to be sure and do is check the box shown below.  It is found under the as shown below.
