Vortex update seems to have broken LOOT

The last two updates seem to produce this error, and the "plugins" tab is now missing. I installed an older version, and everything works fine, but it auto updates back to the broken version after closing out of it. It seems a part of LOOT no longer installs properly.

Your local security software seems to be sabotaging your Vortex install. The latest version of the LOOT library (the file referenced) is being locked or deleted on your system.

Are you positive? I'm running a fresh install of Windows 10 with nothing added to it other than a few games. How is it that the same file installs properly on an older version but not a new one? This seems to be a vortex issue, not something with Windows

Vortex 1.8 ships with a newer version of LOOT than 1.7 - it's logical to assume the 1.7 LOOT library is a "known safe" file whereas the newer version is not yet recognised by the security software.

 

If this were a problem with the app I'd imagine we'd get a lot of reports about it, so far it's only happen to you.

 

Have you tried the various steps in the error message you screenshotted?

sounds very much like a local issue - basic maths - vortex has hundreds of thousands of downloads. only you have this issue. what does that tell you?
