Vortex.exe deleted itself

Is that normal? I saw a post reporting the same thing from 2018 by doing a quick google search... isn't it moderately stable now? x)

 

Edit: Could it be pertaining to the release of a new version from the 15th of July? I was able to install the new version inside the old folder where the .exe file suddenly went missing; and things seem to work fine (at the moment)

Part of the install process for a new version is to delete the old.

I can't really tell if that is what you are describing...

 

Apart from that, Vortex is extremely stable. It does not delete itself outside of a new version install.

Check back if you see anything else strange.

Mine did the same thing, and it wasn't an antivirus. When I closed Vortex, Windows popped up with one of those "Do you want to allow Vortex.exe to make changes..." Like an idiot I said yes, next time I try to use Vortex, it's gone.

 

Reinstall fixes it but it's rather strange.

You may want to report this to the developers as a possible bug. In Vortex click on the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner of any Vortex page. That will direct you to the feedback page.
