Could be your issue is too broad. People are usually offered help with specific problems here.
If you can't understand what you are studying then you may be in over your head. Trying to learn windows programming AND directX at the same time may be just too much.
I'd suggest deepening your knowledge of the language basics first. Your list of topics learned in college doesn't include pointers, structures or classes, among other things. Have you noticed that windows programming and directX are full of these things?
If you want to do graphics in a window try SFML. It's the easiest graphics package to use that I've seen so far, and it can be based on a console application (so you don't have to struggle with windows programming). Try writing a 2D game with that. The tutorials at their site can get you started.

Follow the setup instructions carefully and you should have no problems.
