DT Benchmark not launching

[CorruptAngel920]

I'm having trouble running it too. Though mine seems to be a directx error? "Fatal Directx Error (30000000) for which I've found no solutions. Graphics card is up to date and the system meets the minimum specs.

Thanks ; I was able to solve the problem by updating the following (sorry I can't tell you exactly which solved the issue) :
I did update manually :
-Nvidia drivers
-ZoneAlarm
-misc optional system update (.net runtime was not among them)

My potato was able to breach the 4k in laptop-hi with some margin ; my "current config" got me 2.5k :x

-ZoneAlarm

Uninstall Zonealarm, pleeeeeeeeaaase. This software is a real piece of cr*p.



Cheers

I'm having the same issue. I've tried updating my graphics drivers, running as administrator, I adjusted the compaatibility settings, etc. None of the usual fixes has worked.

I found this solution on a reddit thread regarding the issue with the Benchmark not launching, and it actually worked for me!

I had the exact same problem as OP.

After doing some digging it looks like the launcher throws a System.Management.ManagementException when it tries to get the system information. For me, this seems to have been caused by corrupted files in my Windows Management Instrumentation service.

This should fix that:

Run cmd as Administrator

Type "cd wbem" and hit Enter

Type “dir /b *.mof *.mfl | findstr /v /i uninstall > moflist.txt & for /F %s in (moflist.txt) do mofcomp %s” and hit Enter.

This worked for me! For anyone else, there's other reddit threads that look like they might have more traction in terms of providing solutions so I'd keep watching those if this doesn't fix it.
