The version of the dependencies are relevant too.
If you have updated them all then it might be that your anti virus tools are blocking the folder access to your users documents elder scrolls online folder.

Try to whitelist/allow it there so ESO can access your live/AddOnSettings.txt file properly

Could [ESO] be looking in 2 different places?

No. ESO looks in exactly one place for the addon files. There is no configuration, and no variation in many years. It asks Windows where the "documents" folder is, then looks in the specific path under that. So, this could only be your answer if minion (or the human) are updating the wrong place, not ESO.

Take a screenshot ingame and look at the folder shown there. 1 folder above of "Screenshots" is the live folder where the "AddOns" folder should be located. Check if that matches your folder where you updated the dependencies, or if it's another.

Caveat: this will only work if you're using the game itself to take the screenshots. If you're playing on PC and taking a screenshot using Steam, the screenshots end up in an entirely different location.

I don't use Steam for ESO.
I took a screenshot of my file folder list and the add-ons are a few folders up from Pictures/Screenshots in the Documents folder


Screenshot of Add-ons in game at character selection screen:

I meant take a screenshot via the explicit ESO screenshot key ingame at the world. Not a screenshot of your addons :-)

Thst screenshot ingame tells you, at the top right screen edge, the path that ESO thinks your Screenshots are saved in, and 1 folder above should be the /AddOns folder then where ESO searches for your addons. If this is different from where Minion is setup to you need to charge minions path accordingly to the one Eso really searches in.

Sometimes this could be users/appdata e.g.

And disable One drive user documents folder backup in OneDrive settings as it's known to block access to the folder and causes issues. Or disable/exit OneDrive while Eso playing.

At the ingame addon manager (not character selection!) open the addons dependeny info by clicking the small triangle button at the left and read what is red. It should tell you the missing deoendency then and the needed version of it, if there is a version check too.

You can also use the addon Addon Selector to automatically enable dependencies for your addons if you enable any addon (as long as the correct version is installed).
The addon can also save addon profiles/packs for an easy switch between e.g. crafting, pve, pvp etc. (you define the usecase and pack contents).

Which addon is it that says newer version needed?
And which library/dependency is it asking for?

You seem to have an older version of that lib then or the addon's txt file is miss configured to ask fora never released version of that lib.

Well, I'm kicking myself I didn't try this first thing, but old brains just don't think as logically as they did when younger.
The reinstall fixed it. Sorry for all the back and forth, but you eventually pushed me over the thinking cliff to find the solution. Thanks for working with me to get it all working again.
