YaBoiPinkyStink Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Okay, so I just got a PC and downloaded Vortex to mod Fallout NV, Skyrim, and Fallout 4. I downloaded mods for Skyrim, fine. Fallout 4, Fine. Then I downloaded some mods for NV and was initially fine. Then the other day I downloaded some more and now Vortex wont open at all. I deleted all NV mods, cleared everything from Vortex from my PC, anything I could have possibly downloaded to crash Vortex was deleted. Then I did a reinstall, tried to open it, same problem. I get a splash screen, wait a few seconds, nothing. The window shows up on my bar at the bottom, but I cant maximize the window, I tried Alt+Space and all the options were grayed out. I even uninstalled NV and fresh installed again and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 When you tried ALT + SPACE, did you have Vortex selected/highlighted in the task bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadToRegister Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Are you downloading and install the ONE CLICK version or the version that lets you install Vortex wherever you want?Also, do you run Windows Defender?There could be something not getting installed due to an AV program blocking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaBoiPinkyStink Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 I do run windows defender and my pc just updated like yesterday or the day before. Also, I do use the one click installer, I tried using the manual version but decided to backtrack because im not very familiar with pc yet.

OK, this "MIGHT" be your problem, go into windows defender and turn off the "RansomWare" filter thingy, it messes with folder access for Vortex for some reason, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted34304850 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 did you by any chance reboot your machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaBoiPinkyStink Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Okay so weirdly enough I found the problem, when using alt+spacebar, the command was coming up, but it was coming up off screen where I couldnt see it. The window was stuck off screen, I noticed this when downsizing the page. The fix for anybody going through this is to keep trying alt+spacebar, then right click, hit move, and use your arrow keys to bring the window back on screen. It wasnt a bug, just ignorance. You guys are great, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
