Do you get an ENB related message top left of screen when you load the game?

General ENB & Reshade Info:
The '[PROXY]' part of 'enblocal.ini' needs to be set up correctly to work with Reshade.
Mine looks like this for running ENB with an old version of SweetFX.

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=false
ProxyLibrary=d3d11.dll

You can try that^, it might work.

Or maybe this:

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=false
ProxyLibrary=Reshade.dll

You sometimes need to rename .dll's to get them to work together also. It is a bit confusing I'll admit.

Have a look about this forum, or maybe ask a question there if you can't find a setup similar to yours. Also have a read of the posts in this Google search.

If you don't have any luck get back to me & I'll see what else I can come up with but do be aware I know of people that have never been able to get ENB & Reshade to play nice together. It's a bit hit & miss especially on Win10 & I have worries of upgrading to Win 10 (from Win7) for this exact reason.
Best of luck

As long as ENB is working & displaying writing at the top left of the screen when you start GTA V, if you open 'enblocal.ini' & set the '[INPUT]' section like this:

Default 'enblocal.ini' '[INPUT]' settings:

[INPUT]
KeyCombination=16 <!-- Shift -->
KeyUseEffect=123 <!-- F12 -->
KeyFPSLimit=36 <!-- Home -->
KeyShowFPS=106 <!-- * (in the numeric keypad on right of keyboard) -->
KeyScreenshot=44 <!-- Print Screen -->
KeyEditor=13 <!-- Return/Enter -->

The ENB in-game menu will open with Shift+Return/Enter:

Return

& toggle ON/OFF with Shift+F12.

You can change those numbers above to whatever key combination you like by referring to a keyboard key code list like this.

@a63nt-5m1th Thank you for your answer. First of all, I don't have the enblocal.ini file. I have an enblocal file. I tried what you said in the enblocal file but the enb menu still doesn't open.

@Y4HY4
For the enblocal file, you likely have file extensions hidden in your Windows Explorer View settings:

View

but that won't make any difference to your ability to edit & save it, just useful/safer to be able to see file extensions etc.

Do you get an ENB message at the top left when starting the game?

@a63nt-5m1th only I get the message "17 mod pack installed" in the bottom left

@Y4HY4
No top left ENB message means ENB isn't hooking into the game. How confident are you that it's installed correctly?

How to install ENB:

Download the latest ENB from this page by clicking the down arrow part of the ' download' link at the very bottom left of the page.
Extract the contents of the 'enbseries_gta5_v0471.zip' to a folder of your choice
In the 'WrapperVersion' folder within, take the 'enbseries' folder & all these files:

enbseries (folder containing 'enbhelper.dll' & '.ini' files)
d3d11.dll
d3dcompiler_46e.dll
enbadaptation.fx
enbbloom.fx
enbeffect.fx
enbeffectpostpass.fx
enblens.fx
enblightsprite.fx
enblocal.ini
enbseries.ini

& drag & drop them into your GTA V root folder (ie the 'Grand Theft Auto V' folder where 'GTA5.exe' is located)
Note: If you did anything different to the above when installing ENB previously, or installed to a different location etc, you'll need to find those files & remove them all.
Try loading the game to see if the ENB message appears at the top left & also check your in-game GTA V settings & make sure your game is set to use DX11 (not DX10 or DX10.1) & you do not have Frame Scaling switched on.

If still no ENB message at startup:

What GPU do you have? AMD or Nvidia GPU? AMD GPUs have always had a lot of issues with ENB (not sure they are even officially supported, generally they can work, but no support from ENB if you have issues etc). A lot of the new RTX 3000 series Nvidia cards have random weird issues with ENB also.
Disable all overlays & such, including MSI Afterburner, Fraps, Nvidia Geforce/Steam/Origin etc overlays. Nearly everything comes with one now-a-days & a lot are hidden away & you may not know they are running etc. Basically, do your research & disable everything like that.
Disable Anti-virus or anything like that also.
Try uninstalling your current GPU driver in Windows Safe Mode using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) & then install the latest driver from a fresh download.
Try running check disk on all your hard drives. Then run a System File Scan & then after that perhaps run DISM & make sure your Windows image is good.
Just one copy of the game installed?
Windows 10 or Windows 11?
Download the free version of Windows Repair 4.12.3 & run it's repairs (read it's instructions tho, it steps you through the process & explains everything pretty well, including backups & what to run etc).
If you get desperate, maybe try a repair install/in-place upgrade reinstall of Windows (basics here) or even a complete reinstall of Windows.
