skyrimdudie Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I used Vortex on windows 10 on the same harddrive that i use now. But after updating to windows 11 and i reinstalled, this happened. So when i try to open Vortex it gives me a message. The message is attached to the post. It suggests that there is a fault on my harddrive or there is some software blocking this. I had my harddrive on windows 10 and now when i reinstalled vortex after updating to windows 11, i get this message every time. When i try to install a new mod it won't go into the skyrim folder. So this error makes modding using vortex for me impossible. The fault is not with the harddrive since i have used it on windows 10. And i can run all the games no problem on that drive. Does anybody know what i can do to fix this? Before someone says "buy a real copy" this is a real copy. It just can't read the location properly it seems.Please help if you know :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Ok, the error is talking about K drive, which I assume is NOT your boot drive? Is that installed IN your computer? Or is it an external drive, plugged into a USB port? (this should really be in the Vortex forums as well....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 May not hurt to test the drive...... Use something like HDDSCan to verify the drive is good. Its free, it's standalone, and can give you a nice picture of your drives health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolf01 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 also make sure that the drive isn't under any kind of protections.Either by windows, or by encryption, password lock, or that it's not set to read only.also make sure that vortex isn't being hindered by antivirus, or the built in windows security. The error says you may have a virus.Indeed.Windows 11. (OK that's not helpful. But I couldn't let that shot slip by) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyrimdudie Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Here is the health check of the drive. I already gave vortex clearance in windows defender and firewall. I think this is windows 11's fault. Any other tips?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
