Just tried running again in a fresh install with new version 0.17.3 and the problem seems to still be persisting.

Just curious, why are you running it as admin? (The second time)

 

Does Vortex's icon appear on the taskbar or down by the clock?

Figured it might change something or elevate the permissions in such a way that it would do something lol.

As for the icon it doesn't show up on the taskbar or down by the clock.

This is as far as I have gotten before the program hangs.

While it's not directly related, could you check this thread (https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7151166-whitescreen-reasons/) and see if any of the errors mentioned there apply to you?

[kennyrogers999]

That is as far as it goes for me also... it is getting real annoying not being able to find out why it is not working !?!

Did the fixes specified and no dice.

Just curious....(I have 2 monitors, so this is why I'm asking)

DO you have 2 Monitors?

I upgraded to 0.17.3, and when I ran it initially, I ended up with the VORTEX Logo on my First Monitor that wouldn't go away.
Vortex opened up on my SECOND monitor, and everything worked fine, HOWEVER, the Vortex Logo remained on my first monitor, making it look like Vortex had never loaded even though it had.

I even closed down Vortex on my SECOND Monitor, and one Vortex.exe disappeared from my Task Manager, however, there was another Vortex.ex that would'n go away, and I STILL had the Vortex Logo on my main screen, and a rogue Vortex.exe in my Task Manager.

I decided to shut down the rogue "Vortex.exe" and the "VORTEX" splash-screen disappeared.
