If you've made changes to your Skyrim.ini file, then just keep a copy somewhere safe and paste it back in if you need it. This process will not change your SkyrimPrefs.ini file, so all your ENB settings and so on are safe. Let it detect your video hardware, then you can close the launcher and launch as usual with SKSE. Do NOT start it with SKSE (if you use it), as the game needs to rebuild the Skyrim.ini file. If you get an error, then all you need to do is close Steam and start your game from the game launcher. It will take a while, so go make a sandwich or something.
Go to the bottom button, which is "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" or something similar. Steam backup is the best feature Steam has. Bam, clean vanilla install, and no redownloading EVER. Then, choose the third tab from the left, which I think is Local Files. Then you right click Skyrim, the 'delete local game files', go into your skyrim installation folder and delete the entire thing, then locate the 'Backups' folder in your Steam folder and run the Skyrim installation you find there. Go to Library and hover over the game you want to fix. If you don't know how to do this, here's a step-by-step. I've found that verifying your game cache through Steam will often fix all kinds of strangeness, and this is my go-to tip when people start talking about game issues. Please indulge me in the following Great Wall of Text. I will, however, offer another tip for the future.
I tend to live dangerously and will install a mod to try it out with a character I'm currently playing. Then, their main characters don't wind up with issues from installing a mod, trying it out, and then deciding you don't want to keep it. I know some players will keep a test character just for trying out mods.
