"Unknown Mods", "No Mods Installed" Error

try this solution:

 

Things seemed okay before I clicked on the 'cleanup' button. Sure, before that a mod needed upgrading and some mods just had their workshop IDs, but after that everything went to hell.

Dang it. I was hoping it wasnt related to Windows 10 permissions. Permission issues have also caused problems with being able to join games telling me the server mods are out of date or missing. I know that's not the case because it happened On every server with modsI tried and I as able to join from another computer.

For some reason I am unable to remedy this because even when I give myself full control over that folder, and even change ownership, I can't  delete some files.  The only remedy has been for me to reinstall to another location, since the uninstall utility leaves files in there and stream won't install in that same folder unless it's empty.

Damn computer.

In the link I also described solution how to delete those files. Boot in save mode from windows.
To get in save mode you can create a new txt file, paste this in it:
shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
and rename the file to eg. "safety mode.bat" (so remove the ending "txt" and rename it to "bat").
Then execute it. this will bring you to save mode, where you can delete those files. Then just restart to get to normal mode again.
