Running Bitcoind on Windows 10

0

I'm getting the following error running bitcoind (latest stable, v0.16.0) on Windows 10 Pro x64:

C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon>.\bitcoind.exe -daemon Error: -daemon is not supported on this operating system

Anyone know why? According to the official docs it should run on Windows 10. It's also mentioned here but no answer.

Just like it says: -daemon is not supported on Windows. The bitcoin.org instructions are wrong to suggest it. I have opened an issue.

I understand the error - the docs are blatantly incorrect on indicating it is. – Michael Brown – 2018-04-10T02:45:48.553
