This is just stupid...why is Skyrim messing up now?

[Kurzusseus]

Hello I could use some help. I'm a bit upset because me and my bro were playing Skyrim side by side, when he decided to mess around with his graphic

features in game and have them set to default (check default settings for his GPU) turns out his settings needed to be very low.

 

He wanted me to see what mine had to be and I told him, high quality. He wanted too see for himself not believing thinking I was joking

and I went into the launcher and set it to default, it scanned and set my settings to high quality.

 

I then went back into game and now have been experiencing SEVERE lag. Everything is stuttering

everything is script lagging, I can't even look left or right without lag, and I DID NOTHING but click

Default settings and went in game.

 

Before this I played on high settings with some minor tweaks in game to have actors visible a little further and

items. I'm like wtf Skyrim...what now? Why is this happening, has anyone else encountered a problem like this?
