Skyrim SE won't launch.

[Two Face]

Guys I really need your help. I tried for several hours to run Skyrim with no success. The only solutions is to re-install the game, over and over again, but it works only for several runs, then the same problem occurs. The game won't launch. I only found this info (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZaadwxNHI&list=LL&t=319s), I downloaded the needed files and Vortex file manager, to begin the process of fixing. But Vortex doesn't see the existing game, even if I manually set the folder location.

This whole thing drives me craze AF. Please help.

And the last thing. @STEAM ya THIEVING BASTARDS, do your DAMN JOB and fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug! It's your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ responsibility to help players with the product you're selling to us. It's despicable that we have to find solutions outside of the Steam community.

bro, I tried playing it after 2 or 3 years of hiatus, even unmodded game on entirely new official windows with fully updated drivers on everything was crushing non stop. First you need to download and manually place old windows dlls. Then I had no sound, so I needed to find and install some other old dlls too.
Overall I spent half-day just to start the game normally.
Now comes the funny thing - I did all that on winter holidays and after playing dropped game after few hours since I was p*ssed of by all that fighting with system on unmodded game on entirely new windows and hardware (i.e. no leftovers of something, no possible conflicts with other games whatever). But I made it - it was working.
Now I got sudden urge to play again and first thing I saw is that game is kinda stucked on initial screen with no interface shown and "dragonborn" sign strangely misaligned. My resolution for game in launcher was correct. Thankfully I remembered that there is such file as skyrimprefs so I checked and guess what, game resolution after update was set to 4k despite initially it was 2k. Wtf.

I remember the days when I was playing games from BBB (Bioware, Bethesda and Blizzard) and that was probably best period of gaming I had. Unfortunately that time is long gone and what remained is utter s**t with weird regular updates (I guess something related to the shop), preventing playing even good old products.
