When you click the arrow (if there is one) do you get two entries for Vortex? If so I believe I just double clicked on the second one.

I've figured something out and my Vortex is working now! Hidden behind the splash screen was an error message asking me to migrate my downloads (I've never touched the defaults so I don't know why it was asking me this, also when this issue first came up I had no error message I'm pretty certain.) I opened the task manager and clicked the little arrow next to vortex to bring the error message to the front, then "migrated" my downloads. Vortex opened, excellent! Thanks for the help Tannin!

Yeah I turned my UAC back on. Amazing, can't wait! :thumbsup:

Thanks Tanin! Here's the log:

So does anyone know how to delete completely from registry?

Unfortunately that didn't work either, both with older version and 0.18.

Thank for the replies! I am not running as admin, I don't have UAC turned on and I've just tried running with Defender turned off completely. No luck =( Performing a virus scan now.

Bump! Sorry but I really want to be able to use Vortex xD Edit: It seems even older versions of Vortex now do not work on my system.

Yes, .NET 4.5, I just checked the registry. =) Edit: Sorry 4.8 apparently as my Windows 10 seems up to date.

Just installed 18.1...still a problem :sick:

Bump. Does anyone know how to completely remove Vortex (from registry and all?) Couldn't find it when I looked.

Yes here's the log, do you reckon the failed to load dynamic extensions is important? I have no idea sorry: :laugh:

None of those are really anything like what I have described but thanks. Bumped the topic as I still have no clue what the cause of this is and it seems like a very specific and genuine issue. I literally cannot use Vortex and have now completely removed it in case a fresh install would work. (atempted to remove from registry but not sure how.) Tried disabling Fences as I read that Stardock software can interfere but that didn't work. Lost hours and hours of time spent modding due to this bizarre and unexplained issue. ='(

Uninstalled, updated to latest version again. Still just opening a windows explorer window on launch with the splash screen stuck there. =( This is one of the weirdest techproblems I've had...and I've had a lot xD
