Vortex seems to be broken.

[NoticedByMany]

I know this was 3 years ago but, I just started having the same issue.

 

Found a temporary fix that you can try everytime this pops up.

 

To be more specific I got this issue while trying to dowload and install mods.

 

My fix is to find where Vortex stores your mods that are downloaded from Nexus.

 

Mine looks like this: (Not sure if this is the default location or if I set it.)

 

C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\Roaming

 

Find this in your File Explorer.

 

In Roaming there is the Vortex Folder. Right click on it and then click on Properties and then on the pop-up box deselect Read Only. Then Apply and Okay. Somtimes it won't let you apply because Vortex is trying to use a file in there. So close Vortex if need be.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Will update if I can find out what change in the first place to cause this issue.
