HadToRegister Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 How long did you wait?Vortex sometimes 'freezes' like that for me for about 15 seconds or so, then it becomes responsive again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagasadri Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I just updated Vortex to 1.3.19, and started getting the same issue on startup.Whenever i start Vortex, i can't click on anything and the buttons that usually darken when i hover my mouse over them don't do that anymore.I get no error messages at all, and waiting upwards of 20m while the machine is on idle doesn't help.

HadToRegister Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Is anybody using WindowBlinds?If so, Go into WindowBlinds and EXCLUDE the Vortex.exe from being Skinned by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Mine freezes usually once per day, typically first time after sleep.Go to Task Manager and terminate Vortex.Then scroll down to background processes. Terminate Vortex there if any. Vortex for me runs fine next time started. YMMV.Reinstalling Vortex will not help.Bug reported a few days ago.

HadToRegister Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Mine "Goes Dead" if I leave it open overnight etc, or a few hours and then try to click on it.It takes a bit for windows to give it focus and restore functionality to it, I can watch the Memory usage climb from about 1K when left idle, to 64K once I interact with it again, take a couple of minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Well mine is a little different. I leave nothing running when putting the computer to sleep, and I exit Vortex when not using it. When it works, I get a spinning wheel on Plugins for maybe 10 seconds, then spinning wheel on Mods for two seconds.When it hangs, spinning wheel never moves to Mods.And it really fails... Mouse clicks are ignored anywhere on the window, although the window can be drug.I have left it as long as 15 minutes like this to see what happens. He is dead, Jim.

Pickysaurus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'd be interested to find out of this is localised to Bethesda games (as it seems you are all talking about it freezing when checking plugins) or if it's more widespread. Do you have a large number of plugins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Well... Well... I have only seen this on Skyrim SE. 121 active mods, Maybe three times as many installed. 83 actual plugins.Unfortunately - Skyrim SE mods are my main time sink. Fallout 4 would be second - but have not played it much in this time frame. Let me add an observation, based on 50 years in Software development:This is a deadlock spin problem, at a pretty low level to block mouse presses.One of the two Vortex background processes is using 12.5% of the CPU.The other six are all using zero %. No disk or memory activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippieGamerZ Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I realize this thread is old, but just had this issue and fixed it. Don't worry about deleting and reinstalling or, restarting your pc, etc - somehow changing the compatibility mode to windows 8 fixed it and then I changed it back afterwards.
