Witcher 3: ReShade completely ignores it! Help!

I recently decided to finish Witcher 3 for the second time given that I finally got a much better PC.
Anyways, I've tried every single Reshade version up to the newest one and none of them work. I remember using both SweetFX and later ReShade with it in the past and it worked flawlessly.
I've read that one of the game updates added a dxgi.dll file to the game bin folder and that it simply conflicts with the ReShade one. That made me fiddle with it a bit and none of the combinations that I've tried worked. I've read to move the Witcher 3 dxgi.dll someplace else or completely delete it, keep it in the game folder and rename ReShade's dxgi.dll to d3d9 or d3d11. None of it works :(.
Does anyone have any clue as to why Witcher 3 is incompatible with ReShade nowadays? It really sucks given that SweetFX/ReShade is the only program that allows you to enhance visuals on the fly and is so easy to use. Heck, I can't really think of any other program that allows such graphics enhancements, maybe aside of ENB, but that's what I'd say is a completely different thing.
Thanks in advance for any help

I'm using Game of the Year Edition and Windows 10. Can ReShade have some compatibility issues with Windows 10? When I was playing Witcher back in 2015 for the last time SweetFX/ReShade worked perfectly, but I was under Windows 7 then.
I don't want to sound like an entitled brat as this program is offered for free and I really appreciate and respect all the hard work that you've put into it

Here's what the vanilla folder looks like:
Here's what it looks like with ReShade:

I just found an old SweetFX 2.0 ReShade64.dll on my PC. It is loading ReShade now but as ReShade 2.0 :/. Why the most recent ReShade versions on this website only have 32-bit files then? I wasn't able to run it in other 64-bit only games as well and now I know why.

Why is ReShade installing 32-bit by default and can't detect whether the game needs 32 or 64-bit files?
Sorry for so many questions, but I've been using SweetFX since 2012 when Sleeping Dogs came out and never had a similar problem.

I guess I'll have to re-download the game again and leave folder name free from any non-English symbols. Thanks again for all the input. Hopefully it'll finally work
