Windows keeps telling me Vortex is already running when it's not.

First of all sorry if this has already been brought up by someone else. When I try to start up Vortex I get a message saying it's already running and to check the task manager, but when I do check the task manager Vortex isn't there.

Do you have UAC turned on? if not, turn it on.

Are you running Vortex as an Administrator? if so, don't

[haleyandzoe]

Unfortunately that didn't work and nope I'm not. Thank you for the help anyway.

Strange, because that's the message I used to get when I ran Vortex as an admin

I wonder if this is a Windows issue or a Vortex issue. I never had problems like this with nmm.

Hang on.

I might be remembering this incorrectly, because it was a few months ago, but see if changing "Multi-User" mode from "Shared" back to "Per-User" works

I can't even get on vortex. This all actually happened when i switched from "per-user" to "shared" if that's anything to go by.

DERP, right, how can you change it if you can't start it?

 

Hmmm, so that's most likely the cause then, so now it's figuring out how to get to that setting without having to start Vortex.

That defiantly sounds like something that is above my knowledge. If only there was a way to do it from the nexus mods account.

Nope, it's going to take Tannin42's advice, because he's the Developer of Vortex, and he'd know what to do

Strangely enough, my Vortex is set to "SHARED"

So maybe it's just Changing the setting that's the problem, because I've never changed mine
