symlink files after windows 10 update

[nightmare08]

Hey guys,

 

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue and/or knows of an easy solution that doesn't involve reinstalling everything, because I really don't want to have to do that again...

 

After installing the latest windows 10 fall creator's update, many of the files in my skyrim directory have been replaced with 0 byte symlink files that point to themselves, resulting in the files not being found. More specifically, certain file types were affected, including but not limited to .bsl, .nif, .txt, .ini, and .dll. However some file extension such as hkx remained untouched. I feel as though this may be a hiccup with the nexus mod manager virtual install, but i'm open to any suggestions.
