Setting NODE_NETWORK on non-prune mode
Something in you blocks folder, specifically an entry in "blk04595.dat" file is corrupted.
Go to your Bitcoin data directory, open 'blocks' folder, find that file and delete it.
Then, start bitcoin core with --reindex arg.

Do that only once, if you close Bitcoin core in the middle of reindex, start it normally next time and it'll continue close to its previous progress.
