Soft lock when using "refreshini"

For some reason, whenever I use the "refreshini" command to restore my FOV, the game soft locks and refuses to let me close the developer console. It's like it stops recognizing the tilde key - all other keys work fine, but as far as I know hitting tilde again is the only way to close the console (yes, I tried hitting Escape, it does nothing in the console). So far, every time it's happened my only option was to alt tab and close the game. I haven't made any changes to my config files since this started happening, and I was previously able to use the command without issue. No other commands (that I've tried) have resulted in this soft lock, only "refreshini."

I've searched around but I can't find anyone else suffering from this. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Edit: alright, I figured out the problem, and the problem is that I'm a dumbass. I was playing on Survival difficulty before they revamped it to emulate New Vegas's Hardcore mode, and I have my config files set to read only since the game likes to undo a lot of settings. Whenever I used "refreshini," the game changed my difficulty from Very Hard to Survival, which then disabled the ability to access the developer console while it was still active. If this happens to anyone else, just go into your config file and manually change your difficulty - or download the mod that lets you use the console in Survival.
