You are missing a good chunck of your pref ini. everything below [lod] is gone. There is suppose to be so much more, such as NVhbe0, NVFlex, BlurshaderHDR, Laucher, and Betheada.net. It would seem that you deleted these parts of the ini file. If your game never had them, then you need to uninstall and reinstall. Afterward log in once play for a few minutes. You will get these parts back.

[achintyagk]

I think it should be

 

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

and not

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=1

Try this. Back up and delete your INI files from Documents\My Games\Fallout4\. Run the game through the default steam launcher once to regenerate your INI files. Exit the game. Download BethINI. Extract it to somewhere on your PC using 7-Zip or other similar software. Run BethINI. Choose Fallout 4. Choose your graphics preset from the Basic tab. Check the Recommended Tweaks checkbox. Click Save and Exit.

could you send the missing parts i. tried to verefi integrity and deleted/ installed fallout 4 but the file stayed the same.

Also be advised that under [Archive], the lines bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 and sResourceDataDirsFinal= should be in the Fallout4.ini and not in the Fallout4Custom.ini... No harm leaving them in the Custom.ini but make sure they're in the Fallout4.ini as well.

 

People posting an idividual prefs.ini would do you no good as they are personal edits according to preferences (hence the PREFS.ini)

 

Here's my original Fallout4Prefs.ini, from before I added mods:
