Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 4.x • .htaccess

When I rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess, my site errors terribly. It is the supplied core htaccess. Any ideas why?

Frontend failure:

Attempted to load class "Helper" from namespace "HelixUltimate\Framework\Platform".
Did you forget a "use" statement for another namespace?
