What happens when you run the following in a command terminal:

echo > nul

or in PowerShell:

echo 1 > $null

  1. Can you post the logs of ollama server with OLLAMA_DEBUG=1
  2. It appears you're overriding the default model location with OLLAMA_MODELS. Can you unset this value to use the default configuration?

The models on D: seem to be the problem. From the task manager screenshot, it looks like a partition of an SSD. What filesystem is it?
