DirectX Windows Feature Install Prompt
A piece of software on my new Windows 11 system apparently requires the DirectX Windows Optional Feature set to run and I am continually receiving a prompt to install the feature, even though the features are already installed. I get prompted mulitple times per day to install DIrect X even though it's already installed. I've tried removing and resinstalling the optional feature and still get prompted to install it multiple times per day. I do not know what software is prompting this install. The prompt I receive is in the attached screenshot. I am not a game player, so it's not a legacy game that requires the feature. I'd really appreciate your help. Here is info about my system:

How to safely speed up start up?
Hi,
From time to time I get a notification that "Windows Start up took 1m 40sec" or similar with the suggestion that I look at the start up programmes with, I presume, the idea of reducing that time.
I am all for doing just that, however, when I open the Start Up I am confonted with a list of apps which for the most part mean very little to me. I have no idea what disabling any particular app will do; whether it would have a detrimental or beneficial effect on my system.
I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions you may be able to give to help me.
I had thought to supply you with a list of the apps but can find no way to even copy a list into a word document, so maybe you could help me to accomplish that so that you will be better able to help me!
Alternatively, I am happy for you to use remote access.
Regards,
Donald Stewart

как исправить ошибку Microsoft Office SDXhelper.exe ?
Переодически выдает ошибку, я так понимаю это связанно с каким-то файлом отвечающим за обновление Майкрософт Офиса. Появляется не так, чтобы часто. Может 1 раз при перезапуске компьютера. Как это можно было бы убрать? Переустановить офис, наверное...
