Why can't I use Bitcoin-QT while bitcoind is running as a Windows service under NSSM?

Both bitcoin-qt and bitcoind will, by default, try and use the same directory for blocks, chainstate, wallets, etc. Both can't access the same files at the same time. The first will lock the data directory, preventing other Bitcoin Core processes from also using it, to avoid corruption etc. If you want to use bitcoind, you can perform all the same wallet functions and more using the command line with bitcoin-cli, rather than using the GUI. Otherwise, shutting down bitcoind before opening bitcoin-qt is the only option.
