It mentions ENB there so I tried changing ENB to no avail. Google search also doesn't really get me anywhere since the people that got this issue had offending mods that I don't have. I use VERVE ENB with the recommended enbhost (v292), following this guide https://www.sinitargaming.com/skyrim_graphics.html#google_vignette.

Everything was fine with a few occasional CTD but nothing too concerning. Only now I got a constant CTD. If anybody knows how to read crash logs, please help me. If I need to post my load order too, do tell. I don't have time to post it now but will do if requested later.

As mentioned, if on Windows 11, you might be running into some kind of access control that was not there on Windows 7 or 10. If there isn't too much hassle, maybe try the update 479 version for LE on Vorontsov's site. He tends to test things on reasonably updated equipment and older version of the d3d dll's may not be usable on current versions of Windows. I generally try to stay as up to date on everything I can. dll injection/wrapping has always been finicky and has only gotten better with time. This is assuming it is definitely an issue with ENB and not an SKSE dependant mod/dll.

I'm afraid I don't see anything useful in that crash log other than to say this is an access denied error most likely because of an invalid pointer. If you are following a guide, I suggest asking the guide curator.

[beeleth]

Could it possibly bcs I installed the game in D:\ instead of C:\?

[Greg]

No, this is unrelated. I have had my games on D: for years and have never had issues.

[James]

Experiencing the same problem with the exact same log, plus even followed the same tutorial.

I believe we are experiencing the same crash. 

WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE ISSUE: 
- tried disabling mods that edit textures 
- tried looking at it with TES5Edit (I am NOT experienced with this so I have likely have overlooked something, but there are a lot of mods that edit this area so going to try doing the same disabling/enabling mods to try and find what's the cause)

Exponentiation with autosave(in-game):
- it is created upon entering High Hrothgar BUT is an instant CTD 
- Loading the autosave results in seeing the game for a few seconds then it will CTD

I was able to pause the game when loading an autosave where the CTD occurs, but as soon as i exit the console or unpause the game the ctd occurs instantly! so this leads me to believe that its a problem with either the quest and the scripted event that fires upon entering. 

can look around the cell if you open the console upon loading and use the `tfc 1` command (Freecam & pause-game) 

END NOTE: 
If this does end-up being the same problem, and i find a solution i will post it here but it will be a while before i can get back to this (minimum 2 weeks from now as i don't have much time) 

QUESTIONS: 
1. Are you on windows 11? (I am and am wondering if its related)

2. do you get autosaves upon trying to enter High Hrothgar?
2.1. if so can you load it and pause the game by opening the console? 
              if both of these are true I think its likely we have the exact same root cause the CTDs
