[Bug] monerod on win does not load bitmonero.conf from default data dir without setting --config-file

[5andr0]

monerod v0.18.3.4 won't load bitmonero.conf from default dir C:\ProgramData\bitmonero without setting any cli arguments.
I had to set --config-file=C:\ProgramData\bitmonero\bitmonero.conf
I tested it multiple times on win 11 latest by setting a unique log-file in the conf
That broke my last sync with alternating prune settings that I had in the bitmonero.conf

Can you explain what you mean with prune settings? You only have to set --prune-blockchain once for it to be pruned.

Oh, thanks for the clarification. I thought it bricked my chain data when it loaded for a while without prune blockchain enabled, so I resynced from scratch again.

Anyways, the bug still persists about not loading the default bitmonero.conf
