Vortex failed to start up

[PernicketyJon]

I wish this question had been answered. I have the same problem over a year later.

There are some 'solutions' regarding C++ and PC security obstacles on this page, 

but they only suggest to do the things suggested by the error message.

I cannot find a single entry on this website that says if Vortex can be re-installed without losing all the existing mods, load order and tweaks. (Maybe my search skills are insufficient?)

Can a new download of the Vortex app be installed over the existing Vortex app so the existing mods, load orders, conflict resolutions etc be used?  Like how Vortex gets updated, without having to start again from scratch?
