vulkan 1 dll

The vulkan-1.dll file is a Windows component, implemented as a dynamic library. Its absence can affect the performance of some games and applications. To eliminate the failure in most cases, it is enough to manually copy the library to the correct directory. Administrator rights are required for this operation.

Cause of the error

If an application cannot access the library at startup, a corresponding error is generated. The text usually explicitly states which file is not accessed. The reasons can be different - deletion of a file by a user, malware infection, and so on. In some cases, the problem may occur after problems with video card drivers.

Troubleshooting the problem

It is recommended to initiate a full system scan with a reliable antivirus beforehand. If a file has been infected, it may have been automatically quarantined. In this case, you can restore it via the antivirus software interface and then add it to the exceptions to avoid problems later. It is possible to manually copy the file to the correct directory. Depending on the system bitness, this can be C:WindowsSystem32 (32-bit version) or C:WindowsSysWOW64. This operation also requires elevated privileges in the system. After that, the new library must be registered manually. To do this, use the command line, in which you should use the command "regsvr32 vulkan-1.dll". After confirming the successful completion of the operation, you need to restart the PC and check if the error has been resolved.
