I am trying to start bitcoin server in regtest mode using bitcoind -regtest -daemon command on my windows 7 operating system. Error I am getting is daemon is not supported on this operating system.

My bitcoin configuration is:

regtest=1 rpcuser=username rpcpassword=password rpctimeout=30 rpcallowip=192.168.1.1/24 rpcport=8332 rpcconnect=127.0.0.1 rpcssl=1 # OpenSSL settings used when rpcssl=1 rpcsslciphers=TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!eNULL:!AH:!3DES:@STRENGTH rpcsslcertificatechainfile=server.cert rpcsslprivatekeyfile=server.pem gen=1 keypool=100 paytxfee=0.00001000

I am a novice so please bear with me if this is a basic question. Tried multiple times but getting same daemon not supported error.

    Yes, the concept of a daemon (background running process) is not implemented in Bitcoin Core for Windows. Just remove the -daemon from your command line. Commented May 1, 2017 at 14:00
