Fix 1. Reinstall Corresponding SKSE 64

One of reasons why the SKSE 64 doesn’t work is that the installed SKSE 64 version is not compatible with the SSE version. This case usually occurs the first times you use the SKSE 64. To solve this problem, please follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Skyrim shortcut on the desktop and choose Open file location.
• In the folder, right-click the game executable file (.exe file) and choose Properties.
• In the Properties window, skip to Details tab and check Product version
• Go to Skyrim Script Extender website and download the corresponding SKSE 64. In this step, please make sure the runtime build number is the same as the production version of the Skyrim.

But if there is no suitable SKSE 64 version, you may need to roll back the game or update the game. On the other hand, if the SKSE 64 worked well before and then suddenly the SKSE 64 not working issue occurs, this method may not apply to you and you should try other measures.
