Gruppe36 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Am I the only one getting this problem?The program freezes after I give it permission to make changes as per the User Agreement Control dialog.This happens as soon as I try to switch to switch/add game profiles and, annoyingly, it completely bars me from using VMM as intended.Would love to get some feedback.

I'd need to have an active game profile in order to be able to do that and I get a UAC notice every time I try to activate one, so...

HadToRegister Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Are you running Vortex as an Admin? If so don'tDo you have UAC turned off?If so, turn it on.If you're using Windows Defender, turn off "Controlled Folder Access" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruppe36 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not running it as an admin and the UAC is indeed on, but I do seem to have hit a snag:my OS is Windows 10 Home and apparently I don't have the kind of access to "Controlled Folder Access" that we appear to be hoping for...
