OK, well that explains it but why suddenly it switched to prune mode.
Ive never done that.
There is nothing in the .conf or that line in the core settings.
The startup link is the default
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"
Ive used this program at least 5 years and know tricks to keep it working
but this has NEVER happend before.
I was just running it fine, rebooted, came back and I saw it just prune the fkng
thing all magically on its own.
luckily i have a copy of the blockchain on another computer but this is a huge pain
in the fkng ass
