    Someone might have run "archive log start" after you started the instance.

    Try starting the database in mount mode. Then try, alter database archivelogmode. Then shutdown your database and make sure that the pfileis setup for archive.

    log_archive_start = true
    log_archive_dest = "E:\Oracle\oradata\sid\archive"
    log_archive_format = %%ORACLE_SID%%T%TS%S.ARC

    already in archive mode so no need to mount and change mode
