Completely unable to use vortex due to supposed I/O error

[biggestborker]

Hello, as of the last day I have been completely unable to use Vortex, due to a program breaking glitch. There is a mod that I previously installed for skyrim VR that I cannot uninstall from my computer or nexus. Now every time that I try to do anything on nexus an error that states "Accessing (file) 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." I cannot close out of the notification without completely closing vortex through task manager. It says that this is not a nexus issue, but with the other few posts I've see about this subject, it appears as though it is 100% just a nexus issue. This drive is practically brand new, top of the line, and has issues with no other programs or games right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'll attach a screenshot of the error as well. I've tried a few things that were suggested in older threads where this issue was posted, but there wasn't much advice offered and what I did try did nothing.

These kinds of errors are not "invented" by Vortex, they are reported by your operating system when the application tries to access the files/directories, Vortex just tells you why _it_ was not able/allowed to access the files.

So if you are so convinced that they can't be real you'll have to contact Microsoft because the bug would have to be in Windows.

if i were you - i'd forget the conspiracy theory and take the message seriously. it indicates there's a problem with the disk that file is stored on. nothing much anyone can do to help you except tell you to believe what the computer is telling you, as they are incapable of lying.
