I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but I still got the same error. What's even stranger is that it actually worked the first time I ran it.
What should I do to get him running again?

It seems you have OLLAMA_MODELS=* in your terminal environment, which is overriding the OLLAMA_MODELS you have set in the system environment. What does the following show:

echo %OLLAMA_MODELS%

OK, so not set in your terminal environment. Somewhere you have configured OLLAMA_MODELS=*. I don't use Windows often enough to know where. However, running ollama serve in your terminal session in not the recommended way. Instead, go to your task bar (the bit on the bottom left where you type commands), type ollama, and click on the app to start it. This will start ollama as a service, using the environment variables from the system settings.

ehh... I added variables to the environment variables in the window, and it has become like this. Do I need to remove the OLLAMA_MODELS condition?

If you stopped ollama serve in order to run ollama -v, this is the expected result - the server is not running because you stopped it.

Because of the internet. You can interrupt it and start again, it will keep what was already downloaded and the new connection might be faster.
