Surprisingly i've been using vortex over 2 months.Until today when i tried to run it it gives me an warning "Vortex is not intended to run as administrator and tells me If i run vortex as administrator i could be in deep trouble"I double checked in compatibility that its not running as administrator.I uninstalled and reinstalled vortex.What is wrong?Should i ignore this warning?

No.Anyway its a bit too late i think cos i accidentally clicked on "ignore warning" and from now on i'm not getting this error.I think i'm in deep trouble.I might just move on to a different mod manager.

I checked it as you said.Its set to default.Anyway as i said i accidentally ignored the warning and vortex is not giving me that warning anymore.Is there some file associated with vortex which i can edit or fix so i can restore it to the previous state?

If UAC is on, and if you do not run Vortex as administrator, then you're probably OK. My guess is there was a start up glitch when you turned Vortex on. Has the warning reappeared when starting Vortex afresh?

After i reinstalled vortex i kept getting the warning.Reinstalling didn't fix the problem.But when i by mistake ignored the warning it fixed this problem.I never got a warning after that.Can you tell me what possibly could go wrong if Vortex indeed running as administrator?

Having done that once myself with an older version of Vortex, I lost access to my Vortex Folder and Database, and had to give myself back the Permissions and Ownership of the files and folders
