Youngblood from Xbox PC App not Launching - need vulkan-1.dll file but cannot edit due to...

Thank you, I'll give this a try. I'm not sure where every residual file would be, but maybe something like CCleaner would help with the registries at least?

Two tips I can think of,

Make sure that when you doing anything with permissions of view/editing files you are signed on to an administrator account on your PC. Windows is very specific of what you can and can't do without an administrator account.

Second tip is a simple one, uninstall the game completely, and I mean make sure it is COMPLETELY uninstalled, no residual files, and do a clean install, sometimes this works miracles.

Hi,

You won't be able to add that file to the folder, no matter what permissions you give. The folders are encrypted and can not be altered.

Do you have any other games on your system that use the Vulkan API? They don't need to be just Game Pass games. For a game to be 'Vulkan supported', vulkan files also need to be part of the game install. Since you can't change or add files to a Game Pass
or Windows Store downloaded games, you'll need to un-install and download it again.

If you own or otherwise have access to games on
this supported vulkan list and they work, the issue won't be with your graphics card drivers.

That's unfortunate you can't alter those files, as it seems others with this problem on Steam fixed it by adding that file or updating their GPU drivers.

I looked at that list, and she did just finish one on there last week (Life is Strange 2).

Would downloading this Vulkan SDK be worth a try?

Can't hurt, but vulkan should already be part of your graphics drivers. If other games work, then the driver is already working as it should.
