Android Studio Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed

I don’t know whether Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) itself needs vulkan-1.dll or any of my following Visual Studio Code extensions,

enter image description here

as I found out that you may find the missing vulkan-1.dll at Visual Studio Code’s following folder path:

C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\

So, if you have Microsoft Visual Studio Code installed, you may find the vulkan-1.dll at the above-quoted path. From here, just copy the vulkan-1.dll file, and paste that in folder:

C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\lib64\

After pasting the file, restart Android Studio and rerun the emulator/AVD.
