Extensions should be installed through the extensions page in the %appdata%/vortex/plugins folder. I'm not sure what you were trying to do here - I'm assuming you decided to bypass the warnings and dialogs telling you NOT to set your downloads folder to the root of a directory and went ahead and did just that.

You have 2 options - either completely remove Vortex from your machine - including the %appdata%/Vortex folder and re-install so that you can get a "fresh" installation of Vortex with default settings; or:

You can use Vortex's CLI to change the staging folder for your game; close Vortex and open up a command prompt or a powershell terminal (in powershell make sure to add ./ in front of each command so that it runs the application) in the directory where Vortex.exe is located (by default this is inside C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex) - this is a case sensitive operation so make sure you type EXACTLY as following: Vortex.exe --set settings.downloads.path=""C:\\Downloads""

Start Vortex and it should use C:\\Downloads (or whatever you want to set it to) as the downloads folder.
