It might be that your OS is too old to run the more recent versions of Postgres. I don't use Windows anymore, but I know you have to be at Ubuntu 18 to run PG 10 +, there's probably something similar in Windows. That is one of the many reasons why knowing your OS is important information.</font></div><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><font size="2">---------------------------------------------</font></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font size="2"><i style="">Another reply</i><br><br><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How come.
