I read the FAQ.
Something else may be not known?

I have been banging my head against the wall for days.

I can not get Postgre to start.
This case is the same whether or not Postgre runs as a service or as a
stand-alone.

I am running Windows 7 Professional Edition ( that means NTFS permissions )

HERE IS MY CASE.

I HAVE
Portable - PostgreSQLPortable-9.4.1.paf

SITUATION
OFF - FIREWALL
OFF - ANTIVIRUS
OFF - MICROSOFT SECURE ESSENTIALs

INSTALL
PostgreSQLPortable-9.4.1.paf
ON HERE C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4

PUT PERMISSIONS
WINDOWS 'USERS' GROUP
FULL PERMISSIONS ON HERE
C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4

RUN
"C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\App\PgSQL\bin\initdb"
-U postgres -A trust -E utf8 --locale=C 1>nul
THIS WORKS
CREATES data DIR
C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\Data\data
WINDOWS 'USERS' GROUP has FULL PERIMISSIONS on this FOLDER ( I CHECKED AND
VERIFIED )

RUN
C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\App\PgSQL>"C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\App\PgSQL\bin\pg_ctl"
-D "C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\Data\data" -l
"C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\Data\log.txt" -w
start

DOTS SLOWLY INCREASE, BUT RESPONSE HANGS FOREVER
waiting for server to start.........................................

LOG (log) C:\Users\AnonymousUser\Downloads\PostgreSQLPortable-9.4\Data
SHOWS

LOG: database system was shut down at 2015-04-27 17:14:40 CDT
