Antioch666 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is that normal? I saw a post reporting the same thing from 2018 by doing a quick google search... isn't it moderately stable now? x) Edit: Could it be pertaining to the release of a new version from the 15th of July? I was able to install the new version inside the old folder where the .exe file suddenly went missing; and things seem to work fine (at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatFalro Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Unlikely that it deleted itself. Much more likely is an overactive anti-virus or "cleanup" program did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Some anti virus programs may rename it for "security" reasons. See if there's a Vortex.35 or other random file in the install directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Part of the install process for a new version is to delete the old.I can't really tell if that is what you are describing... Apart from that, Vortex is extremely stable. It does not delete itself outside of a new version install.Check back if you see anything else strange.

Blackduke747 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yep, my Vortex.exe is missing too. The rest still seems to be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csgators Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Mine did the same thing, and it wasn't an antivirus. When I closed Vortex, Windows popped up with one of those "Do you want to allow Vortex.exe to make changes..." Like an idiot I said yes, next time I try to use Vortex, it's gone. Reinstall fixes it but it's rather strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Vortex click on the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner of any Vortex page. That will direct you to the feedback page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
