Vortex crashes every time it accesses File Explorer

I need help please. This all started after the latest update. Every time I click on an option that involves accessing file explorer like "Install from File" or the Browse icon on any path options Vortex crashes. I'm forced to close the program in Task Manager. Vortex only tells me that there was an Exception error.

 

This is what's in my crash dump.

 

Exception time: 1561052512
Exception code: c0000005
Exception address: 00007FFB6DABCBA6
writing dump C:\Users\_____\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\temp\dumps\crash-main-1561051861959.dmp
Also one minor but annoying thing. The Category column doesn't sort my mods in alphabetical order anymore.

You can get around the crash by opening file explorer through Windows, find your file, and drag it to the Mods download area in Vortex.

First thing I would try to fix this is download a new copy of Vortex from nexusmods and install it manually.

You should not lose anything. This problem feels like a bad install.

If this were a general problem with the build - we would be flooded with similar reports.

I actually tried reinstalling Vortex multiple times but to no avail. Also yes I've been installing mods through the drag option but I'm not a fan of dragging files every time.

 

 

Click on the < > at the top of the Category Column to sort

 

Instead of Dragging to Vorttex, why not DOWNLOAD the mods with Vortex?

I have mods that aren't available on Nexus. Also I'm talking about Mod Names also being in alphabetical order when I sort by Category. Category sorts Mod Names randomly.

If you want them sorted alphabetically by name then click the < > at the top of the MOD NAME Column, that's how Vortex, and Spread Sheets, Tables and some websites work
