I followed the steps in compile-and-run-the-algorand-node-natively-windows/ and with the guidance of fabrice i cloned branch rel/stable.
Initially from the website i linked earlier it cloned from the master.
When i ran goal node start -d data it either hangs(that stopped later), start successfully or give

Status is always this now
