Any chance Bitcoin Core doesn't have write access to the data directory?
Have you tried starting Bitcoin Core from the command line? It may show some output there.
Running Windows 10. Core v26. Every other activity from Core is being written to the debug.log so I’m not concerned that it has access nor if I am looking at the right file.
Here is what it does. If I go to File —> Open Wallet where it shows an arrow for a slide out menu, it stalls at that point. Nothing written to log. I’ve ended the explorer.exe process and started that process back up, just to make sureWindows Explorer wasn’t causing the issue.
What is the command line approach to opening the wallet, maybe that approach could get around the UI issue to narrow it down.
One of the reasons for this might be corrupted database. Did you initiate IBD process after reinstalling Bitcoin Core? The reason I'm asking is that sometimes reindex and/or reindex-chainstate don't help to correct the faulty copy of blockchain on your machine thus starting download from scratch saves both time and nerves.
Yes, reindexed recently by mistake but without issue. Not 100% tracking why this could cause a wallet issue. So talk this out a bit, advising to download a fresh copy of the entire chain into a different directory?
