I'm following this Vulkan tutorial: https://youtu.be/dHPuU-DJoBM, in particular, this video https://youtu.be/6Kj3O2Ov1RU
when I run in VS code, this errors shows (there are a lot of them, but all of the same type), i think is something with Windows implementation(?): log of VS code terminal:

this is what is shown if I run vulkaninfo:

this is my Vulkan config:

I've tried to follow this (How to make VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation available?) but Windows doesn't let me delete the register
I installed the latest Vulkan SDK so it doesn't seem to be the problem. Can someone help me?
These error have nothing to do with finding vulkan_win32.h. They are related to its contents, which is why the compiler is able to tell you the errors occur in this file.
Khronos decided to let the application developer the responsibility to #include platform-specific headers in each vulkan_platform_name.h.
This is true for all of them, including vulkan_win32.h.
You can instead #include <vulkan/vulkan.h>, which selects the correct platform and platform-specific headers to #include, based on the VK_USE_PLATFORM_XXXXXX you selected.
