Hi,

we're having some issues where some users fail to create any adapters and we cannot replicate it.

For this reason we want to get as much PC info as possible and the one thing I cannot get is gpu driver version.

The issue is that we can't use some handy C# stuff since UWP apps can't use some hardware identification classes, so using SharpDX api is probably the only way.

The problem is that I cannot find any functions that would return it. The Adapter Description(1) doesn't contain it.

Any suggestions? Can driver version be queried with C++ D3D11 so I'd know where to look in SharpDX?
There is like zero information on this on the web... One old topic which has no answers...
