Deleting steam did nothing. I will try register editing after researching a bit more. Don't want to break anything that currently works. Vortex runs fine btw, it just pops up with 20ish of those I/O errors every time I launch. Spamming ignore allows for normal use.

The drive was 10 years and and failing, so I removed it. Never bothered to put another disk in. I already changed the rest of my programs to stop looking for any files on a D drive, but I can't find a way to tell vortex to stop it.

The disk doesn't exist though. There shouldn't be anything trying to access a D drive. It isn't a drive error, it is that it just doesn't exist. Is there no way to tell vortex to stop looking for games on the D drive? I don't have one, stop looking! No other program is trying to read files from a D drive. This is what I mean when I say vortex is looking for games that don't exist

When I launch vortex, I get the I/O error in the attached screenshot. It happens for every game that I used to have installed but deleted later. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall vortex. I also tried deleting vortex files from documents, program files, the mod download directory, and the appdata folder. There are no managed games listed in the application. edit: The screenshot didn't seem to work. The error is this: I/O error (21) Acessing "D:\games\steamapps\common\{game}" failed with an error that indicates a hardware problem. This may indicate the disk is defective, if it's a network or cloud drive it may simply indicate temporary network or server problems. Please do not report this to us, this is not a bug in Vortex and we can not provide remote assistance with hardware problems You can try continuing but you do so at your own risk. ___________________________ But I don't have the games period. It isn't a hardware problem because I don't want vortex to look for them in the first place. They aren't there. It isn't a hardware issue.
