enbhost.exe loads infinite instances

[Braescher]

This problem is really annoying. Basically, whenever I open my game, it loads up the "enbhost.exe" program in a small box with this:

____________________
ENBHost for ENBSeries |
----------------------------
How to Use
This is memory host process for ENBSeries modification and it
will be started automatically by the mod, do not run it manually

(copyright info and enbdev website)
[ Quit ]
-------------------------------

 

But it doesn't stop there, it opens multiple boxes of the enbhost. It keeps opening new boxes, and eventually I have to restart my computer to avoid a nuclear explosion. And my computer always says that it's overheated when I reset after this bug.

 

I googled and found two guys with this problem on the enb forums. But all that the boris guy says is that it is either related to SKSE or anti-virus/firewall. When actually it does have nothing to do with it because I have added enbhost to my exception lists (both firewall and anti-virus) and tried to run vanilla game without SKSE and the problem still persists.

 

Strangely, this happened before with me, then suddenly stopped happening. Now the problem has returned and I have absolutely no clue what to do since the last time I didn't sorted it out, I guess nature found a way and the problem was gone.

 

I haven't posted load order, papyrus log etc. because since the bug occurs before the game starts and it's related to enb only I'm not sure this info is required, if you people think it is required I'll post it.

Post ENBLOCAL.ini in a spoiler.

 

Be sure enbhost.exe has administrator rights (right click select Properties>Compatibility tab>check the box for run as administrator.

[Braescher]

Both enbhost and skse have administrator rights. Here's my enblocal, it comes with Realvision ENB so enboost configurations are included, I'm running the lastest enb build aswell.

Looks like I've found a fix. Apparently, Razer Comms messes with Skyrim. Since both ENB and Razer Comms uses "overlays", they conflict. Disabling Comms overlay on Skyrim fixed it. Anyway, before this topic is closed I would still like to know if my enblocal.ini could use some tweaks and if anyone knows about a "fix" that would allow me to use both ENB and Comms overlay. I just love Razer Comms.

how do i do that ? fix it " Disabling Comms overlay on Skyrim"?

I'm getting the same thing now but I don't have Razor comms installed. Razor Synapse for the gamepad but not the comm program.

Updating to the latest SKSE seems to have cured it.

Thank you for this! I had the same issue and that helped

As I was reading this thread after having experienced the same glitch with enbhost, I noticed Razer Synapse (Razer's peripheral software) asking if I wanted to update at the exact moment I read the words "looks like I've found a fix". It's not Razer Comms per say, at least I don't have this installed.

 

Looking at my task manager, logic would suggest that RazerIngameEngine.exe and or GameScannerService.exe cancelled out enbhost.exe during Synapse's update operation. I am almost certain of this. If the glitchs comes back, I would try to uninstall all Razer software. This should fix it.

I've tried all these, but it still happens, does anyone else have a different fix?
