    Well this looks like the Postgres log and it is showing that you are
    trying to start Postgres when there is already another instance of

    What does the Task Manager show is running?

    When I was talking about system logs I meant the OS logs, I was not
    clear on that point.

These errors point to the source of your problem. When the database is
shutdown imporperly
(as in pulling the plug or manual power down), you often get left with
the postmaster.pid file not beeing deleted.

Or Postgres is actually running and doing the below would not be good.


So just go ahead and delete /PostgreSQL/9.5/data/postmaster.pid and you
can then restart the PostgreSQL service.

It is a good idea to verify before deleting.
