Well after reading that thread I managed to fix the issue. It required launching my AMD Catalyst Control Center because I don't have Nvidia, then open the power panel and click on the switchable graphics option. After that I had manually select the high performance power option for SSE and that fixed the issue. Thank you so much for helping me get my game to a playable state.

I'm unable to find anything about vsync or presentinterval whatsoever in any of my .ini files for SSE. I've looked in each of them and found nothing close. Not sure why it's not there either. I've got my power options set to high performance since the laptop is plugged in. My first impression is that the problem is a refresh rate issue, but I could be really wrong about this.

Which .ini file specifically? skyrimprefs.ini, one of the image quality files (low, medium, high, ultra) or skyrim_default.ini. I'm unable to find that line in any of my ini files. Also on a separate note, if you have tried this change, did changing this have any effect on the error for you?

Well borderless and windowed modes being on or off in any combination didn't change anything. I also don't seem to have an Ipresentinteral value in any of my skyrim.ini files to change in the first place. Also, you had asked what my gfx card was and what driver earlier, I've got an AMD Radeon 6600m & 6700m series chipset in my laptop. I went to the AMD site and ran their driver search software which prompted me to update with their suggested and most current driver. I don't remember the specific driver information. I know it's not exactly a very good gfx set up by today's standards, but it still runs newer games, for example I can run Overwatch just fine, it's a bit pixilated, but it runs. I'm rather perturbed by this graphic issue because it's the first time I've ever come across this in any game. I really appreciate your efforts to help resolve this by the way.

I'm having two issues with SSE that make the game unplayable. Firstly, I'm having an image retention issue with the game where certain elements of the game such as menus, the cursor, and the steam overlay stay rendered on the screen when they shouldn't. The cursor leaves a blurred trail behind it when you move the mouse that doesn't disappear until you either start a new file or load a save. Then when the Helgen cart sequence begins, the screen never loads and renders the in-game world. All that can be seen is a black screen and certain UI items like the compass and stamina bar, however they also have the aforementioned retention issue.If anybody has any insights or has dealt with a similar issue the help will be much appreciated. I've tried re-downloading the game, checking the integrity of the game cache and updating my driver software. I've Included three screenshots of the issues.
