I downloaded the Bitcoin QT, when I try to open it I always get this error msg: Incorrect or no genesis block found. Wrong datadir for Network?

I already deleted the Bitcoin folder in Roaming but I still have the same issue, the strange thing that the Bitcoin Testnet wallet is opening

Is it still opening the Testnet wallet? It sounds like you were possibly using the wrong "shortcut" to start Bitcoin Core... The installer will create two:



And because Windows 10 is a bit stupid sometimes (all the time?)... it can sometimes select the TestNet version as the "best match" if you click "start" and start typing "Bitcoin" Undecided
