Vortex Multi-instance problem

[mingtow]

For some resume the vortex clint is starting multiple instances of vortex.exe. I have seen up to nine in the task manager. When I open the client it will say that there are multiple versions of vortex.exe open and well tell me to quit out of the one window I am looking at, but win I do it does not close the other instances of vortex.exe. These other instances can not be closed, not even with the task manager. And if I open a new instance of vortex, even if it is the only window, it will still give the the warning about the multiple instances of vortex and prompt me to close the only one I can. I do not know how to fix this and I can not manage my mods while this is happening. Can I get some help please?

SO when you click on any other Vortex.exe in the task manager, right click and pick "END TASK" they don't shut down?

That is correct.

I figured out what the problem was, it was my Norton antivirus.

How was Norton AV your problem, and what exactly did you do to resolve the problem?

 

Also, did you know that Vortex does not need to run in the background for you to play your games? Unlike NMM, you can exit Vortex and still play your games.
