Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11312

Why do I need to download the model to the C drive again after using the startup service? I have already changed the model path in the settings to the F drive.

If the service is not started, the model will not be downloaded again.

The change to OLLAMA_MODELS has to be in the environment of the server. If you could provide details of your configuration it would be easier to to answer the question.

I'm using Windows 10 and installed it using the exe installation package. The model location in the graphical interface settings was changed to F drive.
Because I want to use "chatbox" to connect to the model downloaded from ollama, I tried to start the service using "ollama serve".

After quitting ollama from the systray, try starting it from the toolbar - type ollama in the search box and clicking on the Ollama app. Running ollama serve in a terminal window may not inherit the variables from the sqlite configuration file.

I now understand that using "ollama serve" and starting with the GUI use different configurations, thank you.
