Thank you. Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I don't post much at all. My bad. I'll try your suggestion.

A short description of my problem: I’ve never had a problem with Skyrim: Special Edition loading up… even with many mods running. It will not open. Period. System Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7 - 950 @ 3.07GHz RAM: 16.0GB System: 64-bit / x64-based processor OS: Windows 10 Home OS drive free space: 81.5GB Skyrim drive free space: 81.0GB Video Card: eVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 960 Steps Taken to play Skyrim SE: Attempted to start Skyrim with SKSE… Didn’t load Verified enough disk space on OS drive and Skyrim storage drive…. Didn’t load Updated SKSE …. Didn’t load Disabled all mods…. Didn’t load Removed SKSE…. Didn’t load Updated Video Card Driver…. Didn’t load Verified integrity of all Skyrim files… Didn’t load Checked system for other missing or out of date drivers…. Didn’t load Attempted to launch via .exe. in Skyrim directory…. Didn’t load Attempted to launch via Steam Library…. Didn’t load Attempted to launch via nVidia GeForce Experience (after optimization) …. Didn’t load Checked Firewall… not blocked….Didn’t load Checked Anti-Virus… not blocked… Didn’t load No viruses found No malware found Uninstalled Skyrim SE from Steam... downloaded fresh copy and installed... Didn't load. Changed SkyrimSE.exe & SkyrimSELauncher.exe to "Run As Administrator" under their Properties settings... Didn't load. Skyrim will show up in Task Manager and shows as “Very High Usage” on the Power tab… Skyrim will not “stop” via command in Steam Library In order to stop Skyrim from running in the background, it must be “End Tasked” in the Manager. I don’t know what has gone crazy with this game, but I have NEVER had issues running Skyrim. I'm stumped, at this point.

I disabled Vortex, because it seemed to be causing more problems than solving them. I deactivated ALL MODS... so there are none loading when I initialize Skyrim. It's bare-bones right now, but still won't initialize.

Aside from a complete uninstall and a painfully long download and reinstall with my horrid internet… is there any other suggestions as to why this might not be working? It's baffling me at every turn. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
