Vortex won't update and I am getting message "Failed to Install extension"

[nexodexo]

First, I want to say that I just typed out this entire post and, when I clicked save, had to go through a Cloudflare redirect that took me back to the main thread page where my post did not appear.

 

Anyway, I have two issues:

 

1) I get a message that an update is available. When I click it, Vortex shuts down and doesn't restart. When I restart it manually, nothing happens and the message remains.

 

2) I get the yellow message. When I click "Fix", it shows me the red message. When I click "More", it shows me the dialog below. I can't find anything named "re-engine-wrapper" in any of the tabs in Vortex.

 

Not sure what to do at this point.

 

Edit: I am trying to attach screenshots, but Nexus is telling me "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." Edit 2: I guess you can't copy/paste images directly into the message. I had to use the attach option.

Looks like someone posted about this on github:

Quickbms Support is enabled on mine.

It sounds like your anti-virus has been sabotaging the install of Vortex. I suspect it removed that module from the app when you updated it.

I checked my Windows Defender logs and I don't see any file there resembling that. What is the solution to this issue? What files am I missing?

No answers from the dev team at all?

Have you tried reinstalling the latest Vortex build over the top of your current install to try and repair it?

how would anyone be able to answer your question of "what files am I missing?"
