Updated my installation of Vortex just now and encountered the same error as the OP. Reinstalled over the old one. Same error. Antivirus quarantine and logs clear, no interactions.

THE SOLUTION (for me, at least) --------------------------------------------------------------- to ambsibling.sb, cas.cat errors: Cause found: FMM f*#@s up file and directory attributes (probably not setting these at all). Explanation: By default, the game folder (Mass Effect Andromeda in my case) is attributed Read-Only, as it should be. When FMM changes mods, it re-creates it's directories with parent Read flags. Then it tries to write-access files it created with read-only flags, which is denied to obvious reasons. Simplest solution: change the game folder (Mass Effect Andromeda in my case) to not not have read-only flag. The problem will be gone (probably) until you switch mod profiles.
