| Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | | Almost certainly no if the file is in C:\Windows\System32 or signed by Microsoft / GPU vendor. Scan it via VirusTotal if uncertain. | | Can I delete it? | Not recommended . Many modern games (Doom Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, emulators like Yuzu/RPCS3) require Vulkan. Deleting it will break them. | | Why multiple copies? | Apps can bundle their own loader in the game folder. The system one in System32 is the primary. |
