I am attempting to launch either vanilla or modded Fallout 4, but either way, I cannot get past the initial loading screen. It freezes the second the circle in the bottom right corner comes up.
Since I am using Nexus Mod Manager, I thought that was the problem and uninstalled all mods I had loaded and disabled all mods checked. Still, that did not fix the problem. I have since wiped everything from the Fallout 4 folder and reinstalled the game completely – but it still won't launch.
Any idea on how to fix this?

You must also delete
C:\Users\*your name*\AppData\Local\Fallout4
–Fallout 4 crashes on startup, community.bethesda.netThis directory contains your mod and .esp load order (save it somewhere else!), which the program is calling for and cannot access because they don't exist anymore. (= crash)
