Windows 10 problems. and Direct3D - Douwert - 07-31-2015

Hello, I recently did a clean install of Windows 10.

I installed Dolphin and tried to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
When I launched the game, Dolphin immediatly froze and crashed.

When I looked a little further into this I came to the conclusion that it crashes when I use Direct3D 9 or 11.
This wouldn't be as big of a problem if I had a better GPU.

Unfortunatly I don't really have the best GPU but I dont consider it bad.
So I really want to use Direct3D 11 but I can't, Any tips or solutions to my problem?

Also when I had Windows 8 installed it played every game fine with Direct3D. So it must be something with Windows 10.

Thanks for the help in advance.

(Please let me know if i typed something wrong, Im dutch)

EDIT:I completely fixed it by downloading all the drivers and unstable build

- Install the latest Win10 drivers for your GPU (v15.7.1 WHQL) from AMD's official web site: http://support.amd.com/
