Alright guys thanks for your help, but problem solved. I guess im just an idiot. Although it wasn't made clear when you first open the tool, you must link Vortex with Nexusmods account.

So the games are installed & i have run them before. The problem seems to be the extensions themselves. When trying to "manage" a game it says it "support for this game provided through an extension... To use it you have to download the extension then restart Vortex." & it gives the option to download. Then i click download & it just gets hung up on "installing game, vortex will restart upon completion". I have used Vortex before without issue. However this is the first time im running it on this windows install or in other words, it was never working properly since i've installed.

I tried two games. Control & Cyberpunk 2077. Both games had the same result. It just hangs forever.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I try to manage a game, it says it needs to download an extension, then it just says "installing game" and nothing happens.
