What is the issue?

ollama windows gui client is ignoring configured context window.

setup:
client: windows 10, ollama gui client (client does not display version), binaries downloaded from ollama.com, in terminal displayed version 0.15.6
server: debian 13, ollama version 0.15.2

bug description:
windows client forces 4k context windows despite the context window set in the GUI settings to other value
it is possible to change context window both on client and on server from the terminal, however this last only until first interaction from the windows GUI client when it is reset to 4k (thus reloading model)

on server:
# ollama --version
ollama version is 0.15.2
