I was just told by bethesda support to reinstall the dll by
typing cmd in the search box, and then right click Command prompt select Run as Administrator.
typing this in command prompt:
regsvr32.exe /u ntdll.dll and press Enter key (this will uninstall the file)
regsvr32.exe ntdll.dll and press Enter key (this will reinstall the file).

Only to be met with an error message both times saying: "The module "ntdll.dll" was loaded but the entre-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "ntdll.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

And being told that they can no longer help me.
I'm at my wits end here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it seems my absolute last resort of updating seems to have fixed my issue.

• Preformed a clean install of my OS making sure to unplug my storage HDD completely
• After the OS was done configuring/installing, i installed all of my motherboard drivers and shut down so i could reconnect my storage HDD
• Used OOSU10 (ShutUp10) program to deactivate all of the analytics/data mining microsoft loves to do.
• Proceeded to install my graphics driver and reboot once more.
• Installed chrome because screw the Edge browser
• Installed steam and directed it to my storage HDD for my games
• Installed Uplay
• Successfully launched Far Cry 5
• Successfully launched Skyrim SE
• Successfully launched Fallout 4
• Unsuccessfully got over my disgust for Windows 10

Not sure why Windows 7 was acting up for me to bring us to this point because i know friends who still use W7 and play these games without issues, but its whatever i guess.

Now for the lovely and tedious process of remembering all my accounts and getting my preferences the way i would like for the second time in the last couple months

I want to thank you both for helping me resolve this issue and giving me recommendations and guides on each step and procedure i needed to take!

If i have any other questions i'll be sure to post here again (dont close this post just yet as id like to be absoluitly sure im not going to have anymore issues)

Posts are never closed unless idiots get to making posts on it later on. You can always come back to any post you have made OR reference it in a new post if it's relevant, but not part of, the original question.
