Vortex 1.10.8 - restart and lost all my profiles - says I am not managing any games?!?!?

I have been managing one game in Vortex (Cyberpunk 2077).   I have eight profiles.  Or had, actually.   I cloned my default profile (which is empty) and downloaded the updated City of Dreams (Heavy) by V2 rev 58 to it.  Everything is fine.  I close Vortex and then restart it, ready to delete the old profile for City of Dreams (Heavy) by v2 rev 57.   

Vortex says I am not managing any games at all.  I tried to re-add Cyberpunk 2077 and end up with just my default profile, but an error saying "Failed to set game mode" 

I had other mod collections pending updates by their curators.  

I spent over 4 weeks preparing my own Collection with ~450 mods.  I was just tweaking the last few, getting ready to publish it.  It no longer exists?!?!?

What the hell happened, and how do I get all my profiles back?   The downloaded files are all there.  Why is Vortex ignoring my existing profiles?!?!?!

Seeing the note about .Net 8.0 runtime, I exited Vortex, ran the .Net installer, then restarted Vortex.  Did not change anything. 

I'd really love to know if there is a way to restore the lost profiles....since one of them was a personal collection I spent weeks building!?!?!?!??!  HELP!?!??!

OK, so no one was replying to this, so I dug deeper.  Found the Profiles in a Vortex folder in AppData/Roaming.   So they aren't lost.  The error message wasn't helpful, but then I ran verify on my Steam Installed Files and something that was missing in the base game was restored.  Poof!  It's back.
