Alpha Blending Not working?

[Spike8maxx]

I am currently having a hard time running various games on my computer. I recently just built my computer, I installed every game that I wanted and they all worked fine. Just recently I have not been able to play some games. I have not been able to play rocket league, cs go, Tom Clancy's ghost recon wild lands, and assassin's creed black flag. I have still been able to play games such as Fortnite, Fallout 4, and ASTRONEER just fine. 

 

When I launch the games that just fail, I get a black screen briefly and then no game launches. I only get a different response from rocket league, where a pop up error occurs and tells me that my graphics card does not support alpha blending. 

 

Between the time of those games working and not working, I installed two programs Duet pro and Intel Driver and Support Assistant (installed cpu driver). I'm not sure if anything that I installed could have been the problem. (I noticed that this Reddit post had a comment related to duet display with the same problem. I tried completely uninstalling duet and problem still occurs.) 

 

 

I currently have tried reinstalling Nvidia graphics driver Version:398.82, restarting my computer, tried disabling the Intel graphics, and installing graphics driver after deleting duet.

Could be this.

 

I have and am currently using a windows OS without a lisence.  but i wouldnt try to game on it.  the watermark alone would drive me nuts.

 

I have to imagine there are some windows/DirectX functions that are disabled in the free version.

 

That would at least make sense.
