SKSE 64 runs game, but SkyUI says otherwise

[Alteredkarma]

(I don't know how to delete posts, otherwise I'd do so.)

Relatively new to modding, although the amount of frustration at not getting things to run has led me to watching and reading every tutorial, blog post, and forum thread that I can find on the topic, so i can at least do the jargon side of things.

Computer details: I have updated my skyrim to 1.5.39 (initially purchased it on 3/30/2018), manually installed skse64 2.00.07 into both my games/sse folder and my games/steam/sse folder, run nmm to enable all plugins and mods, and loot to order everything, skyUI is version 5.2. PC is an HP Pavilion with 12 gb RAM and rather new.

Scenario: I have skse64 to launch as an admin, and it works because I am entirely capable of playing the game with no CTDs encountered, but when I load a save, it states that "SkyUIError Code 1: SKSE 64 is not running. SkyUI will not work correctly."

It mentions that there has been an update as well, but I redownloaded the skse files (2.00.07) this morning and manually installed them, then uploaded them to NMM and activated all relevant plugins; I have also deactivated the 2.00.06 that I had been running, althought that hadn't worked either.

In spite of this, I am able to continue playing. Interestingly, opening any menu option still appears in the SkyUI format and there is no issue with interacting with any parts of my inventory. MCM does not load mods even after a waiting period or by using the command "setstage SKI_configmanageinstance 1". Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one on this side of the internet to be having this problem.

I have little doubt that it's something on my end of the game, but I have manually moved all of the relevant files into the SSE folder and the SKSE src and Data folder into the SSE data folders, uploaded everything to the NMM, ensureed that all plugins and mods are for SSE, etc. I have not been able to locate a plugins.txt to ensure that a * is before the SkyUI, but since the menus are working I doubt that's the issue. Starting anew game does not resolve the issue.

Hopefully this is enough information. If you need any sort of file from me, please tell me the specific location and file type that you need. Thank you in advance.
