Vortex, Win 10 Defender and Hair loss

[tjc59]

I have legal copies of Win 10 and SSE for my PC. So here's the mystery:

In Vortex I'm missing the plugin button on the front page. When I scroll down in extensions it tells me the Gamebyro Plugin Management failed along with Gamebryo Bsa Support failing also. I try to enable them but they won't enable. All the other extensions are enabled. Yes I turned off the controlled folder access in Win 10 defender and reinstalled Vortex after a reboot ... same result. I then turned it back on and made an exception for Vortex :wallbash: I asked Microsoft and they sent me here. Pass the Bucket of 'We have no clue, your not paying us to have one, so go bug sum1 else.' (To b fair they did give me a couple of links and one of them lead me here.) I've combed through the forum, but after page 92 .... well, I'm going on 63yrs young and would like to keep what hair I have left. Suggestions?

So this has come up a few times lately, there's going to be something broken or blocking on your end to prevent it from working.

 

There's a suggested solution here: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/12071
