Vortex (0.16.5) is only working in minimized mode

[19Anonymous83]

This may sound a little noobish but after i accidentally misclick somehow, Vortex is only working in minimized mode...and i cant get it working normally. After starting Vortex since then I can only see it if i move the mouse pointer over it in the windows taskbar. I think if im not totally wrong it has something to do with the data that is stored in AppData\Roaming\Vortex\state.v2

and the MANIFEST-00253 file but feel free to correct me if that is wrong.

i came across that because i searched for an File that stores the actual selected Vortex options and window sizes to solve the problem myself. And discovered that if i delete the hole \state V2\ folder Vortex will work as intended but no longer recognizes Skyrim SE and the Mods that iv'e installed.

to provide the eventually needed other information

Im running Windows 10 x64

with Vortex 0.16.5

and Skyrim SE

with around 200 Mods installed.

if i open the MANIFEST-00253 file with notepad++

it shows me this
