Can't change profiles, gets stuck on "Switching to Profile: Default" forever

[cloudy01]

I am unable to switch games in Vortex, it hangs on "Switching to Profile: Default" forever. I have tried re-installing Vortex, re-creating my profiles, deleting Vortex's cache folder, and deleting the %appdata%\vortex folder. I am a bit stumped how to solve it. Any suggestions? Thanks

Here is the vortex.log file (Pastebin link)

Update: I figured it out, posting here for anyone finding this.

You need to uninstall ALL mods that Vortex sees under your game's Mods page (Right click mod > Remove. Tick 'remove archive') and then re-install them. To not lose your mods, you can right-click > Open on Nexus Mods before you remove each mod.

I'm guessing it was some kind of corrupted mod issue? Either way, manually uninstalling all mods and re-installing them this way has fixed it for me and now I can swap profiles again :3

I'm having this issue as well, tried your solution, didn't work. It says to check my log file, but I have no idea what i'm meant to do with that information in there.

I've pulled up a few dozen threads of people having the same error and not found anything that works, just a lot of threads like this where no one replied

I had this same issue for about 3 days finally found this https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/422 which said to disable the extensions for the current game (vortex restart required) then I was able to switch profiles no problems.

Glad to hear you found a solution!

I have also been having this issue for the past few days.

I was stuck on RDR2 and trying to switch to any game froze on the profile loading screen. Disabling the extension for RDR2 allowed me to switch to other games successfully.
