(2) If that doesn’t work, do a reindex.  Go to the Core application program in Downloads: bitcoin-22.0-win64-setup. Right click properties. Next to the Bitcoin logo you will find a writable field. Type in this flag:

. . . setup –reindex

and click Apply. I have seen instances where the flag is designated with one hypen; others with a double hypen. I think that the double hyphen is correct.

You should edit this since "...setup" is pertaining to the installer and not the executable.
Should be:

"....\bitcoin-qt.exe" -reindex

Must be outside the quotation marks, either --reindex or -reindex will work in shortcuts.

Also, "writable field" should be specified to "Target:" under 'Shortcut' tab since there are more than one writable fields there.
