Vulcan’s Runtime Library
It’s called Vulkan Run Time Libraries, and it’s a new way to make graphics. Khronos Group Inc. makes it.
It is a 3D graphics API, and it is supposed to be the new standard for OpenGL.
That means it is like OpenGL or DirectX, which are used for games and better 3D performance, so it is like that.
When it comes to games, Vulkan is the most up-to-date version of OpenGL.

I have Vulcan Libraries on my computer for a reason.
There’s nothing wrong with the fact that these are installed without your permission.
Most of the time, when you install your NVidia drivers or Steam or any other program that needs Vulkan Run Time Libraries, it will install them for you.
It’s not even possible to not install Vulkan even if you choose “Custom Installation.” This is true even if you choose “Custom Installation.”
It’s possible some of the programs will ask for your permission, but others may not and you won’t even know that they’ve been set up.
But it doesn’t mean that it’s malware or a threat to your computer, even though it looks like it is.
So, all in all, you don’t have to do anything if you see Vulkan Run Time Libraries on your computer.
If you want to keep having fun with your games that need a lot of graphics, leave it where it is.
Because it is dangerous.
You might see Vulkan as a threat from your Windows Defender or your anti-virus, but that isn’t always the case.
In the same way, Vulkan is also safe to keep. Many other programs get flagged by your Anti-virus, even though they are safe.
Should I remove Vulkan Run Time Libraries?
In order to remove Vulkan, you can remove it.
If your games aren’t running on Vulkan, you might not even notice that.
Even so, if you have games on your computer that need Vulkan to run at their best, you’ll notice that the quality will go down.
Keep in mind that if you delete the Vulkan Run Time Libraries, you won’t be able to get them back on your own.
You’ll have to uninstall and reinstall your graphics drivers or any other program that installed Vulkan in the first place to get it to work again.
This is how Vulkan Runtime Libraries work.
I have Vulcan Libraries on my computer for a reason.
You shouldn’t be alarmed if the system didn’t tell you about the installation of Vulkan Run Time Libraries. When you install programs like NVidia drivers or Steam that need Vulkan Run Time Libraries, the system does it automatically without your permission.
If you don’t have the Vulkan Run Time Libraries, some programs won’t work, so you may have to have them.
As long as Vulkan Run Time Libraries are safe and not a virus or malware, they can be installed by anyone.
It might be bad to get rid of them, so you should not.
Whether or not Vulkan Runtime is bad.
Should I take it down?
Let’s get one thing out of the way first: Vulkan RT is not malware, and there’s no reason to be afraid or plan to remove Vulkan.
Vulkan, like OpenGL and DirectX, is one of the newer ways to show graphics.
A virus called win32/subtab!blnk has been causing problems for a lot of people who use VulcanRT.
Users say that after they removed Vulkan Run Time Libraries, their Windows Defender didn’t alert them to malware attacks anymore.
However, there is no link between the win32/subtab!blank virus and Vulkan Run, so don’t believe these false claims.
