TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTED THAT WAS NOT LISTED ELSEWHERE (DID NOT FIX)

Used sysinternals Procmon to determine the last .dll called is the CChromaEditorLibrary.dll, renaming the .dll had no change in performance, still crashed.

Windows Event Viewer showed a faulting module path to the ntdll.dll. However, this .dll cannot be reregistered because it does not contain a DllRegisterServer() call.

System File Checker returned no errors after a DISM online update.

Windows update 22H2 build 19045.3324 (latest as of 8/14/2023)

Did you find a fix for this?? I'm having the same issue and seeing that so many other people have but I can't find a solution.

Assuming you have no mods installed?

Did you by any chance knock out Minthara instead of killing her? If yes go back and kill her. This should fix it.
