Mar 29, 2018 at 19:44 comment added AlmostDone When the switch is off, charge is pumped into C34 and is drained off by the load. With the diode shorted, C34 no longer holds that charge when the switch is on, but quickly decreases toward zero. The feedback senses the drop and the switching controller commands a longer on time to build up a higher current in the inductor. When this on time becomes long enough, the inductor will saturate. When saturated, it no longer functions as an inductor, and the current through L10 will be limited by only its winding resistance and applied voltage.
