HadToRegister Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 When I try to use Vortex to install a mod for Baldur's Gate3, Divinity, or Cyberpunk 2077 I keep getting a message to Confirm User Access Control Dialog. Not sure what it means or what to do Do you have UAC turned ON in Windows? If not, turn it on. It's a permission thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 a) Windows usually requires admin rights to create symbolic linksb) To do anything with admin rights windows usually displays a dialog asking if you actually want to do the operation. Vortex does check beforehand whether a is actually true on your system so this is a bit weird actually, Vortex shouldn't be showing that message if you don't require rights "elevation" to admin - and if you do need it Windows should be showing you that UAC confirmation dialog at the same time Vortex is showing the message. As HtR said: If you actually do have UAC turned off, I strongly recommend you re-enable it, it's a really important, massively underestimated security feature of your system. Another thing you could try: In Vortex -> Settings -> Workarounds you can enable a workaround that allows you to create symbolic links without admin rights (more securely than disabling UAC) - if you can enable that without error message you should be good.
