Just out of curiosity, what is the essentials update supposed to fix? What issues were addressed since the last update in October?

You can find the details of the updates provided on November 19, 2024 for "Genesis 9 Starter Essentials" under "Resolved Issues" on this page.
Here are the details:

2024-11-19 Updated:

• Corrected aliases that were causing issues in the log.
• Updated Toon Layers Swap.dse utility script
• Updated Toon Hair morphs
• Updated G9 Anime Nipples presets
• Updated morph icons
• Added Eyelash morph icons
• Added Create Properties on Followers.dse, Hair Blank Morph Template Load.dse, and INFO scripts to Developer Tools Pane
• Updated Metadata
• updates sub division level limit to 4

Yeah, I had previously checked that and according to that log, the file Daz is claiming it is looking for isn't even listed as a file. So, that doesn't help.

Also, since this Windows install is fresh, and the only thing installed on it are Daz programs, I just restored back to a few days ago when I first installed Windows, Installed DIM and had it install all Daz content. Started Daz Studio, tried to add Genesis 9 Toon to the scene and Daz Studio crashed, it gave me a new error, "DAZStudio.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\dzfilamentapi.dll"" According to the Internet that means there is some residual Daz info somewhere from the previous install, which shouldn't be the case as I refreshed Windows back to how it was when Windows was first installed. So, anyways, I refreshed again, ran a cleaner that made sure there wasn't a single file or registry key that wasn't from the original Windows install, then installed all the Daz content again, and got the same error.

So, I'm going to blow off the hard drive and re-install Windows all over again, and once again install only Daz and see what happens. If another error exists, I'm just going to stop trying to deal with this for a while until Daz gets itself sorted out.

So, I may update this post once with the results, but maybe not.
Thanks,
J.

Even after formatting your HDD, performing a clean Windows installation, and installing DAZ Studio with essential assets such as Genesis 9 Starter Essentials and Default Resources for DAZ Studio 4.23+ and etc., if the error persists, it may be indicative of a hardware problem.
In such a case, I recommend running a check disk (CHKDSK) to diagnose the issue further.
