Vortex looking for gamepass instead of steams Fallout76.exe

So I had F76 running with a collection perfectly on my Game pass version but I also have F76 on steam and wanted to load my old save. 
I tried booting up vortex but it gave me an error "Executable: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Project76_GamePass.exe"

It's obviously trying to launch the game pass version and I have manually set the location to the F76 steam folder but it won't look for the normal steam edition exe, only the gamepass one. 

I tried reinstalling vortex, deleting all mods and collection, deleting my f76 folder from my documents entirely and even the game pass version of the game altogether and I'm still getting this error. I assume it's something simple like editing an INI file or something, can someone point me in the right direction please?

From what I can see this could only happen if "Fallout76.exe" doesn't exist in your game folder. This is the function. 

function findExecutable(discoveryPath) {
  const steamExe = 'Fallout76.exe';
  const xboxExe = 'Project76_GamePass.exe';

  if (!discoveryPath) return steamExe;

  try {
    // Steam version
    fs.statSync(path.join(discoveryPath, steamExe));
    return steamExe;
  }
  catch(err) {
    // Could not stat to Steam path
  }

  try {
    //Xbox version
    fs.statSync(path.join(discoveryPath, xboxExe));
    return xboxExe;
  }
  catch(err) {
    // Could not stat the Xbox path
  }

  log('error', 'Neither the Steam or Xbox EXE paths exist for Fallout 76');
  return steamExe;
  // throw new Error('Neither the Steam or Xbox EXE paths exist for Fallout 76');
}

 

Based on that code it should only ever look for the Xbox Game Pass EXE if the Steam one doesn't exist and the Xbox one does.
