1. Open the Player settingsSettings that let you set various player-specific options for the final game built by Unity. More info
   See in Glossary (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Player).

2. In the Other Settings > Rendering section, disable the Auto Graphics API for a platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) option.

3. Select the Add (+) button, then select DirectX11 or DirectX12 from the list of the supported Graphics APIs.
