Writing this post I've realized that there are 2 wrong paths.

I copy "c:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain/10 2021.10" to "c:/arm" and modify TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX in settings.json and "miDebuggerPath" in launch.json.
I comment "OPENOCD_BIN" in settings.json

Anyway VS Code shows this error: "Unable to start debugging. Debug server process failed to initialize."

When I run debug server from VS code terminal:

PS C:\loramac-node> C:/openocd/bin/openocd.exe -f interface/stlink.cfg -f target/stm32l0.cfg

Note that I run:
C:/openocd/bin/openocd.exe -f interface/stlink.cfg -f target/stm32l0.cfg
but VS code runs:
"C:/openocd/bin/openocd.exe" -f interface/stlink.cfg -f target/stm32l0.cfg

If I add quotes it does not work:

PS C:\loramac-node> "C:/openocd/bin/openocd.exe" -f interface/stlink.cfg -f target/stm32l0.cfg

When I run gdb from VS Code terminal:

How can I debug without any problem?
