Describe your OS & version, the version of Inkscape and the installer you used.

I haven't heard of the four-icons thing. By any chance are you using Windows 10-"S"? That is the version that uses programs from the Windows store.
If you are going to use an earlier version, I suggest the .92.3 from the Inkscape.org website.
If you want, you can create a zip file of your dxf file and attach it to a message here. we can look to see if that's ok.

here is a dxf dont know if i attached it correctly
I'll use my super powers to get it.
The full message has the info: the dxf version is incompatible.
LibreCad is a free program that can easily convert the version. Open in LibreCad, save. Open in Inkscape.

You can try the attached dxf file.
Start a new topic, for something not about the dxf problem.
