Also, have you tried looking in the Windows Error Log?

Have a look in the "Event Viewer", and under the "Windows Logs" section, check the "Application", "System" and "Security" logs... There might be something showing there.

It seems like it might be some weird Windows permissions error... possibly relating to either the install location or the data directory.

Is there anything in the last logs at %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\debug.log?

Now that you've started from scratch the log would be very helpful.

Not running in task manager.

The only logs in debug are from when I ran bitcoind briefly to see if that ran (which it did).

Where did you download the bitcoin core? Make sure that you download the core from official website from here https://bitcoin.org/en/download

Can you try to uninstall and reinstall the core? Before you do that make sure you have backup wallet.dat if you have a wallet created before.

Thanks

Uninstalled bitcoin and cleared out the files in /Roaming

Re-downloaded from bitcoin.org to be sure.

Clean install and the same issue. Blue circle spins for a few seconds, then nothing.

Very frustrating!

Try a clean install (backup first, then delete and purge all old files from install location, esp wallet.dat). Exact same problem happened to me before on Windows 10 Home (installation worked, but client could never execute, without details in error log). I never found out why it happened, but deleting old wallet files and old data files worked for me.

Have you checked if it's still running in the task manager?

Is there anything in the last logs at %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\debug.log?
