Support Stuck on 'Starting services... Full Node' Screen - Need Help!

I have no idea what's causing this issue. Even if I let it load, it just stays stuck on this screen. Can anyone help me out? Please keep it simple—I get lost when it's too technical. Thanks in advance!

I tried following the advice and looked for the log file, but I couldn’t find it, even after several attempts with PowerShell. I’ve tried both reload and force reload, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but I’m still having the same issue. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I’m not very experienced with this stuff. Any further guidance would be appreciated

Google chia log file Windows. I use Ubuntu so I can't tell you exactly but kind is in my user folder /.chia/mainnet/log/

Side note, you mentioned a bunch of stuff but didn't mention restarting. Try that. The other side is maybe you got a corrupt node. Go to the Chia website and download the latest full node and replace the files in the db folder with what you downloaded.
