Description
I am using a Windows on Arm PC, whose CPU would already natively have a Vulkan driver (with even more feature support than Dozen).
However, lacking support for OpenGL, it is necessary to install the compatibility package from the Microsoft Store for some applications. Installing this package replaces the main Vulkan device with the Dozen wrapper. This may cause a reduction in compatibility for Vulkan applications and games.
The issue here therefore to ask if, in an official way by Microsoft, the Vulkan wrapper could be distributed separately from the OpenGL one.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by investigating how the Microsoft Store compatibility package distributes Dozen and the OpenGL component; done would mean an official way to distribute the Vulkan wrapper separately without replacing the native Vulkan device.
