Unofficial DirectX Control Panel 9.2

Unofficial DirectX Control Panel is a lightweight developer utility that exposes advanced DirectX runtime settings on Windows. Originally authored by Microsoft for the legacy DirectX SDK, it provides a straightforward interface for diagnosing graphics issues, validating API usage, and testing compatibility in Direct3D-based applications.

Key capabilities:

• Enable the Direct3D debug layer and control message verbosity to catch errors and warnings.
• Set break-on-error conditions to halt on critical runtime issues.
• Create per-application overrides, including forcing software (WARP) rendering and limiting the maximum feature level for testing.
• Adjust Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) parameters to investigate GPU hangs during development.
• Inspect and tweak settings for Direct3D 9, 10, and 11-era applications.

This tool is intended for developers, testers, and power users. Some changes can affect system-wide behavior and performance, and administrative privileges may be required. As an unofficial distribution of the classic DirectX Control Panel, it is best used for troubleshooting and legacy development workflows rather than on production systems. Developer: Microsoft Corporation.
