Check your quality settings for Standalone ... Edit -> project settings -> quality ... Then see which level is selected for standalone .. The check box which is green in color under the standalone in the inspector.. Select that row and check shadow settings..
check all the materials in consideration in your scenes have cast shadow and receive shadows selected in the mesh renderer component in the inspector panel.
There are some graphics cards which do not have support for shadows... I am not entirely sure how you check this.
Is your direct3d11 option selected in player settings... Edit -> project settings -> player .. Check rendering path option which is set in that.

One more thing ... Do you have pro version as usually directional lights are not supported in free versions...
