Vulkan not loading on 5.4 LTE, 5.9 - NVIDIA 455xx

Hello, I’ve been trying to get NVIDIA vulkan drivers to work for the past two days now. I started on 5.9, and downgraded to 5.4 LTE with no effect.

Do you have a compatible Vulkan installable client driver (ICD) installed?
Please look at the Getting Started guide for additional information.

AFAIK, I have all the prerequisites for vulkan. Yet, it doesn’t work.

Help greatly appreciated

What does vulkaninfo print?

I appreciate the help, but seemingly after launching minecraft and my computer freezing up and being force rebooted it started working?
