Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes. Bought packs in bundle for the first time and updated game
I tried
- editing ransomware properties as suggested
- tried uninstalling and almost couldn't reinstall
- tried deleting cache files as suggested
- tried whitelisting app from Windows Security
- tried restarting PC
- taken out mods and CC
I'm pretty sure there are other fixes I tried but these are the ones I can remember. I have been trying to fix it for the past ten hours, give or take. I'm nearing tears because my friend bought me a bundle pack for my birthday, this is the first time I'm playing outside of Base Game and I was so excited to try them out when I noticed I couldn't open the gallery and couldn't browse my gallery notifications anymore. It should also be noted that when the bundle was bought it was by using my account but on her PC since I was over at her place at the time. Does that even make a difference?
