Unfortunately, I don’t run Windows… so, I’ll probably be of limited help here.
However, it sounds like the USB connected drive was not properly managed by the automated Windows shutdown. Perhaps, Windows disconnected the USB drive before the Storj service finished writing to the disk. There are other topics around here regarding disabling disk caching in Windows to prevent data loss…
So, it seems like the combination of points 6 and 7 with the auto-update/restart corrupted one of the database files.
The best I can do is point you to another thread… such as the following:
There are many Windows node operators here. So if the above doesn’t help, I’m sure they’ll assist in getting you back up and running.
EDIT: Changed the link to more appropriate thread.
