So the only assumption I could make is, the Twitch app has screwed up my addons. And it updated “a lot” of my addons I can still manually download the addons for retail, but the amount I need to manually download is huge Just a heads up for people who are using the Twitch app. This is the first time this has happened to me btw. I've always downloaded the ElvUI install and manually extracted to WoW directories and worked fine. Since 8.1 was released, Blizz thinks the ElvUI addons are out of. Oct 17, 2018 Most of the addons for World of Warcraft we download from curseforge.com. The easiest way to install the addon is with Twitch App (previously Curse Client). The app is for computers and WoW laptops with Windows and MacOS operating systems. Very easy to use. The addon button in World of Warcraft will show up automatically if you have any addons installed in the /interface/addons/ folder of your World of Warcraft directory. If you do not have any addons installed to this folder, then the button will not be there. Note: The location of the addon folder can vary from system to system and OS to OS.
If you don’t have the if you don’t have the CurseForge App you can find out how to install it at the bottom of this page.

How To Download Addons For Wow
Simply teaches you your rotation for DPSing on any class, telling you what ability to use and when in real time.

3. Pawn
Will tell you which pieces of gear are better for your character depending on your spec.
Late-game Content
When you reach max level or as you start to feel more confident with the game these are the Addons you must have to be as efficient as possible.
1. Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)
Where To Extract Wow Addons
Warns you about dungeon and raid mechanics, for example, telling you to dodge certain things or soak others.
PLEASE NOTE: Most raiding teams require you to have an addon like this to raid with them as without it, you will highly likely die to mechanics in new content.
2. WeakAuras
Indicates buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, this helps will resource management (Health/Mana), you can find class specific templates on the WeakAuras website.
3. Details
A damage/healing meter Addon, with advanced features such as showing Dispels, who pulled threat etc.
4. World Quest Tracker
To be efficient with World Quests will addon is needed telling you what World Quests are where, instead of you having to travel and find out yourself (it’ll save you so much time on flying backwards and forwards)
5. GTFO
Does one thing, barks at you when you’re standing in something dangerous.
UI Addons
The reason why UI has a section for its own is because not only is it really important, but it isn’t as black and white as the other Addons when it comes to which ones you should pick, it depends on what you feel helps and what you’re comfortable with, however I would give all of them a look just to make sure that you don’t miss out on anything.
We’ve split this into 2 sections simple and advanced, you can play the game perfect fine with both but you’ll have more control when customising your UI
Advance:
Highly Recommended
These Addons won’t affect how powerful your character is but they will help you in the day to day things.
1. Gatherer
Shows the location of mining, herbalism and treasure locations on your minimap just so you don’t have to hunt for them.
2. Bagnon
Replaces the separate bag windows with one large inventory window. To help finding items easier.
3. Altoholic
Allows you to manage your alt characters better for example telling you how many Honor marks you have across all of you characters rather then you having to go through each on and remembering.
4. Auctionator
Makes it so much quicker and easier to make a profit on the Auction House, because time is money.
5. Healbot
