Terinaguy1 Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I keep getting a message saying, "Vortex needs to access "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\data" but doesn't have permission to. If your account has admin rights Vortex can try to unlock the file for you." and when I try to hit give permission it keeps coming up and won't let me access that folder with Vortex. How can I get access manually? Thank you in advance.
Community Manager Pickysaurus Posted May 6, 2021 Community Manager Posted May 6, 2021 It's probably best if you reinstall Skyrim outside of the Program Files directory. Installing games you want to mod to a protected system folder can cause these issues depending on your PC security/AV settings.
Terinaguy1 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 I got it working by disabling my AV that was what was causing the issue. I didn't have to reinstall the game. Thank god. Thanks for the help
