SkyUI not working

[Goddess Fae]

I had posted about this before, but I have some more information.

I have tried to run Skyrim through SKSE, but when I get into the game, I keep getting this error message:
"SkyUI Error Code 1

The Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) is not running.
SkyUI will not work correctly!

This message may also appear if a new Skyrim Patch has been released. In this case, wait until SKSE has been updated, then install the new version.

For help, see the SkyUI mod description."

I looked on the Steam Workshop and found SkyUI and subscribed, but it made no difference. I used LOOT and it said that Update and my DLCs needed cleaning, so I used the TES5 AutoQuickClean. I also looked on Vortex, and it shows SKSE and SkyUI as being fine, but the rest of my mods have the red triangle with the exclamation point in it next to them. The only thing that has happened since the day before it stopped working correctly is that Windows updated. I've tried uninstalling the Windows updates and trying again, but no luck. I've also:

Uninstalled/reinstalled SKSE
Uninstalled/reinstalled SkyUI
Went through all of my mods (approx 30-35, though it only shows 17 when it's first loading the game and updating the mods, but that's because that's all that I have through the workshop; the rest are through vortex) and either resubscribed (workshop) or re-downloaded them (vortex, though I couldn't find all of the ones that were listed. If I couldn't find one that had the red triangle, I uninstalled & removed it)
Removed all mods (with the exception of DLCs) and tried a vanilla start

Note: My computer has had absolutely no problem working with this number of mods before. I've been playing with this number (actually, more at times) and I adjust my settings so it works fine. It was literally working perfectly on 12/4/24 and I started getting this error message the first time I ran SKSE on 12/5/24. Also, my game is version 1.9.32.0.8, if that helps at all.

None of these things have worked.

Has there been an update to SkyUI? I thought I had the most updated version, especially after looking both in the workshop and Nexus, but I may have missed something. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'll take another try at this now that I know you are working with Oldrim. SkyUI probably isn't your problem, it hasn't been updated in forever and SkyUI error code 1 indicates a problem with skse, not SkyUI. Here's some Windows stuff that might help and won't hurt if you try it.

First, makes sure all the following skse files are still in your main Skyrim folder; your antivirus or Windows might be removing or quarantining some of them.

skse_1_9_32.dll
skse_docs.txt
skse_loader.exe
skse_papyrus_docs.txt
skse_readme.txt
skse_steam_loader.dll
skse_whatsnew.txt
src

Next, the most common fix for SkyUI error code 1 is to run skse as an administrator. Go to your game folder, right-click on skse_loader.exe and in the context menu select "Run as administrator" (game should start). See if this gets SkyUI working. If it does, close out your game, go back to skse_loader.exe, open it's Properties, and in the Compatibility tab check the "Run this program as an administrator" box to make this option permanent.

If that doesn't work, there are a couple other Windows tweaks you can try.

Start by manually deleting the files listed above. Then, go to https://skse.silverlock.org/ and download "Current classic build 1.7.3". Choose the 7z archive option. Drag the file from Downloads to your desktop. Before you open the 7z archive, right click on the folder, select Properties and in the General tab, click "Unblock". Also, in Windows go Steam>steamapps>common, right-click on your Skyrim folder to open Properties, and if in General>Attributes the "Read-only" box is checked, uncheck it. Open the archive and drag the files into the main game folder. Allow the skse scripts to overwrite any scripts you have installed.

Start Skyrim by double-clicking skse_loader.exe and once the game is running, open the console and see if getskseversion gives you the correct result. If it does, open your save and see if SkyUI is running. If it's not, close the game, go back into your game folder and set the new download to run as administrator.

If none of that works, I'm out of ideas, though there is a lot written on the internet about SkyUI error code 1.

I don't use Vortex so I can't comment on your other Vortex warnings.

Thank you so much for your help! The game is running correctly, though I have to right-click skse_loader and run it administrator each time. Now I just have to figure out how to get my mods to work lol. You were very helpful, and I really appreciate it
