DirectX11 is grayed out, I cannot change it (even after the update).

You'll need to change it on the log-in screen.
I see other people are also having the black screen when alt-tabbing. Not a big deal, since you don't really need the game to continue doing things, but it is a whole 1-2 seconds of my life I'll never get back, so woohoo.
I decided to run a Simulacrum to see how it changed. Ran Wave 1 before I realized that I needed to change the setting at the login screen, so Wave 1 was a nice baseline of DX11. It was choppy, frame rate was all over the place, felt like it had all league.
Relogged, switched to Vulken, lost a portal, oh noooooo, got back to the Simulacrum. The frame rate is still not constant, bouncing around between 60 and 30. However, throughout the entire Simulacrum, I only had one moment where it felt like the game lagged, and it was just for a moment. 19 waves of, yes, admittedly inconsistent framerate, but the game didn't stutter. It was never an unplayable dumpster fire. Can it be improved? Sure. Is it an improvement already? Yes, I think so.
Vsync intentionally locks your frame rate to 15, 30 or 60fps to prevent tearing. if you see it bounce between 30 and 60 then that is just vsync doing what it's meant to do. try disabling it and see if the frame rate stops bouncing around?
