This is a bug, which was already been reported RM #1679 <https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/1679>. I know - it's annoying to see that even though there is no process running in the background.
If you can afford to loose the* server-list *from pgAdmin 4, you can delete the configuration file for pgAdmin 4 found under '%APPDATA%\pgAdmin\pgadmin4.db'. -- Thanks & Regards, Ashesh Vashi EnterpriseDB INDIA: Enterprise PostgreSQL Company <http://www.enterprisedb.com> *http://www.linkedin.com/in/asheshvashi* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/asheshvashi> On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 6:45 PM, 曾广宇 <361304...@qq.com> wrote: > Yes, I tried.
