Thank you for the response, @Pickysaurus. I did not migrate Vortex. I haven't modded anything for about 2 years so I am starting everything from scratch on my new PC, assuming that anything I had on the old rig is out of date.
More concerning to me is that this issue I had and fought all day yesterday is gone today. Vortex is making no complaints and making me look like I imagined the whole thing.
If the problem recurs I will certainly try your suggestions.
