Feature level 12_0 randomly missing from my DirectX 12!

[liptonice95]

Have a very strange issue. I was able to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla without any issue for years until I uninstalled it. The game has a directx feature level requirement of 12_0. However, when i recently reinstalled and tried to run the game, it gave me the error message "GPU does not support DX12". 

All my drivers and windows updates are up to date. When i ran a dxdiag check, it gave me a Direct3D error message "DxDiag has detected that there might have been a problem accessing Direct3D the last time this program was used. Would you like to bypass Direct3D this time?" 

I rmb pressing "Yes", after which the diagnostic notes simply showed "no problems found", but the feature level 12_0 is now missing.  

I'm using an Intel® Core™ i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. Really appreciate any help!
