          No, it won't.



          That's also not possible without rebuilding the UTXO set from scratch, as the unspent outputs being spent need to be known to validate spends against.



          If you want to force a revalidation from scratch, start with -reindex-chainstate. This will blow away the UTXO set, and recreate it from the blocks on disk, and revalidate everything in the process (including all signatures, if -assumevalid=0 is set).
