I've tried a couple of things that found on the web but still nothing. Neither disabling SmartScreen, UAC, Defender or cleaning Windows 10 registry has done anything.
I can confirm thou this was right after the 1.2.14 update. I'm avoiding a new install from the archive "Vortex (custom install location)", do not want to risk to lose almost 1100 active mods. It would be painful.

Windows Defender is one of the worst ones to use with Vortex.
Go into the Windows Defender settings and turn off "Controlled Folder Access" and reinstall Vortex.

Followed the new Vortex instructions. I've tried installing it in past and now using Vortex I get the same results. I click on script extender launch button on dashboard and get a message about the executable not being found.

If vortex is complaining about not being able to find the script extender exe, then you have it installed incorrectly, Vortex ALWAYS looks for the Script Extender exe in the Root game directory, where the skyrim.exe, or fallout4.exe etc is.
If you have a folder in your game root directory that's named something like this "skse64_2_00_07" etc, then it's not installed correctly.
Just follow the installation instructions included inside the SKSE64.7z file.

SKSE install

[ Installation ]

1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Skyrim SE directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\. If you see files named SkyrimSE and SkyrimSELauncher, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for programmers, most users can ignore it.

2. Copy the .pex files in Data\Scripts\ into the Data\Scripts\ folder of your installation. The .pex files are needed by all users of SKSE.

Just install Vortex again, and if you're using Windows Defender, turn off "Controlled Folder Access, and/or disable any antivirus before reinstalling.
Vortex doesn't disappear on it's own, something on your system is removing it, like an overzealous AV program.

It's also possible your dashboard shortcut is misconfigured.

It works for me, thx for good advise.
