Low framerate after power outage

[Fixed]

Hello,

A few hours ago I had a sudden power outage just as I shouted at the Western Watchtower (probably unrelated).

Now when I start the game the main menu has 0.7 frames per second as reported by the ENB GUI.

Between my playing then and starting the game I had installed only an armour mod, follower, and update to Better Courier. I reverted those changes through MO2 disabling and use of its backup feature.

Other games run well, including unmodded Skyrim SE on another drive (for Creation Kit).

I tried sfc /scannow which reported no errors. I reinstalled VC++ redist and updated the graphics driver. I double checked I had no frame limiting setting in SSE Display Tweaks, the ENB, or on the default INIs.

I backup everything almost nightly, so I brought across yesterday's vanilla game files thinking something might have corrupted from the program not closing properly.

It lags in fullscreen and borderless mode. It is easy to alt+tab in and out of the window, nothing else on the computer lags. It doesn't use a lot of system resources. Slowly opening the game world through the Continue button shows the lag persists.

I don't think it is a mod since it was running at a steady 61fps just before, but if it is where do you think I should start disabling?

Are there any suggestions from the esteemed Nexus users? :smile:

 

Edit: I traced it down to NVIDIA Reflex Support. Its config ini had become garbled, presumably the result of the crash. I reinstalled the mod and the game runs well now. I wonder if anything else got scrambled... (I think I'll restore the backup in full and redo the little modding I did today.)
