The Skyrim That Wouldn't Load...

[Guest deleted9128150]

A short description of my problem:

I’ve never had a problem with Skyrim: Special Edition loading up… even with many mods running. It will not open. Period.

 

System Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7 - 950 @ 3.07GHz

RAM: 16.0GB

System: 64-bit / x64-based processor

OS: Windows 10 Home

OS drive free space: 81.5GB

Skyrim drive free space: 81.0GB

Video Card: eVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 960

 

Steps Taken to play Skyrim SE:

 

Attempted to start Skyrim with SKSE… Didn’t load

Verified enough disk space on OS drive and Skyrim storage drive…. Didn’t load

Updated SKSE …. Didn’t load

Disabled all mods…. Didn’t load

Removed SKSE…. Didn’t load

Updated Video Card Driver…. Didn’t load

Verified integrity of all Skyrim files… Didn’t load

Checked system for other missing or out of date drivers…. Didn’t load

Attempted to launch via .exe. in Skyrim directory…. Didn’t load

Attempted to launch via Steam Library…. Didn’t load

Attempted to launch via nVidia GeForce Experience (after optimization) …. Didn’t load

Checked Firewall… not blocked….Didn’t load

Checked Anti-Virus… not blocked… Didn’t load

No viruses found

No malware found

Uninstalled Skyrim SE from Steam... downloaded fresh copy and installed... Didn't load.

Changed SkyrimSE.exe & SkyrimSELauncher.exe to "Run As Administrator" under their Properties settings... Didn't load.

 

 

Skyrim will show up in Task Manager and shows as “Very High Usage” on the Power tab…

 

Skyrim will not “stop” via command in Steam Library

 

In order to stop Skyrim from running in the background, it must be “End Tasked” in the Manager.

 

I don’t know what has gone crazy with this game, but I have NEVER had issues running Skyrim. Aside from a complete uninstall and a painfully long download and reinstall with my horrid internet… is there any other suggestions as to why this might not be working? It's baffling me at every turn. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

if youre got vortex running try purging mods and reinstall one by one .or try fornes or loot .

I disabled Vortex, because it seemed to be causing more problems than solving them. I deactivated ALL MODS... so there are none loading when I initialize Skyrim. It's bare-bones right now, but still won't initialize.
