I think I have solved the problem...or at least it hasn't returned. I wen't into properties > Security and changed the Permissions for f4se_loader.exe and gave it full access which it didn't have by default...stupidly simple solution and I should have thought of it sooner. Sanity Check: eliminate the easiest things first.

By "Disabled" I mean won't load/doesn't work. I'm kind of assuming that something is either turning it off (if that's possible) or blocking access to keep it from starting. I've tried running it from both the desktop shortcut and the .exe directly but it doesn't matter either way they won't work unless I have just reinstalled F4SE and then they work just fine...until I close the game again.

I don't think I'm crazy buuuuut.... Should I have to reinstall F4SE every time I log into the game? This started a while ago (a couple of months maybe three) whenever I quit the game and log back in my F4SE is disabled. Not uninstalled just disabled, but if I reinstall it before I try and log in, It doesn't matter if I use the installer or do it manually, it and all my mods and the game are perfectly stable and work fine (so Yes I'm putting it in the right folder) until I quit the game again. There's no errors recorded in the F4SE logs or any record of when or why it was deactivated anywhere on the system unless it's buried in some sub-basement program or folder I don't know about. My rig is an Alienware 15R3: i5-6300HQ 1060 6GB (latest drivers) 8GB Ram Windows 10 home (latest updates) Since it's happening between when I quit and restart the game I'm pretty sure it's a windows 10 problem but just to make sure I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING I can think of short of completely wiping the hard drive and doing a clean install of Windows 10 to make it stop and at this point I'm not even sure that would work. Here's what I have tried: Run as Administrator Change settings for all users and run as administrator Sorted add validated load order repeatedly Gone through Mods with a fine tooth comb looking for conflicts Uninstalled and reinstalled all mods Completely uninstalled and did a clean reinstall of Fallout 4 Validated File integrity Scanned all files for viruses and malware Performed a system restore to before this started happening (1.10.40 but just the system and not f4SE and the game runtime) Reinstalled Windows 10 (OEM system image not external copy) Created New Windows User account Tested online and offline (including local network) Tested with several different antivirus programs both on and off Tested with Windows Defender on and off Tested with Windows exploit protection on and off Tested with EVERYTHING turned off Like I said if I reinstall it and resort my load order (which also ends up out of whack no matter what) it runs fine but this just can't be normal. Any ideas?
