Hi, Aditya Toshniwal

Thank you for your reply.

We understand that the pgAdmin installer itself does not explicitly request a 
system restart.  
However, we experienced automatic reboots on several Windows Server 2022 
systems immediately after installing pgAdmin 4 v9.2 (pgadmin4-9.2-x64.exe) in 
silent mode.

Event Viewer shows Event ID 1074 (process: winlogon.exe, user: NT 
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM).  

We are wondering if, during the installation, 
the installer might trigger the installation or update of dependent modules 
(such as Visual C++ Redistributables or Python runtime), 
which in turn cause Windows to request a system restart.

Could you please confirm whether this behavior is expected 
or if there are any known dependencies that may require a restart on first 
installation?

Thank you,

Shumpei

Dear pgAdmin Support Team,

We are using Windows Server 2022 and encountered unexpected system reboots 
right after installing pgAdmin4 v9.2 (pgadmin4-9.2-x64.exe) in silent mode.

Event Viewer shows Event ID 1074 (winlogon.exe, user: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM).  
Could you please confirm if the installer intentionally triggers system reboot 
or if there is a known issue related to this version?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Shunpei Sakanoue
