So, this is what has happened. Been using vortex for months, no problems. THe last update rolled out suddenly made stuff blow up. https://appuals.com/vortex-deployment-failed/ This was the error I had. I did not however know that until it was too late. First time vortex showed something was wrong, when updating beipnex to the newer version 1.64.1 I think, suddenly it had permissions errors with C drive. Find out that due to something within the past two or so hours, suddenly I no longer am admin on my own C drive. Disable UAC, AV, Firewall and do a uninstall/wipe/clean of vortex and everything connected to it. Even uninstalled Valheim as that is the game which seemed to start this all off. Attempts to clean it and reinstalled ran into the same permissions error over an over in a endless loop I could not break, deployment problems and permissions. So I tried to reclaim control over C drive via the usual methods under security. That failed. Tried to do it under safemode, That failed too. Tried to make a Recovery disk And a Repair disk via the windows media tool and the online one via a laptop. https://www.minitool.com/data-recovery/windows-10-repair-recovery-disk.html more or less. The C drive is now so broken it will not even let me uninstall or reinstall windows. https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/45613-unable-reset-recover-windows-10-using-bootable-usb-drive.html This is basically what is happening. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/criticalservicefailed-bsod-restart-loop-windows-10/f8a69335-7bb1-4b24-ad39-de752d4f9a96 this is more or less what it is doing now. https://recoverit.wondershare.com/windows-pe/what-is-windows-pe-and-how-it-works.html It is currently stuck in this mode as a 'x' drive. I cannot get anything to recover or repair from this point. SFC does not work DSIM does not work. this is a very similar problem. I cannot even access C as I have irreplaceable work related files there which there are no other copies. I.. I don't even know what to do. I don't understand why this error started with vortex. Help?

This all started with that issue about deployment permissions, which is apparently still a problem in vortex

You are confusing cause and effect.

Vortex can't deploy _because_ your system has messed up file permissions.

You don't get messed up file permissions _because_ deployment fails.

There is no deployment bug in Vortex, hasn't been one in any stable release as far as I can recall and even then it wouldn't lead to permission errors. Deployment/permission problems are a symptom of your setup being broken, not the cause.
