I still believe this "exit code 128" is related to pgAdmin opened during the clossing session on Remote Desktop. I have a Windows user login wich is not administrator just no privileged user, it cannot start/stop services, just monitoring. With pgAdmin window opened inside my disconected session, as Administrator if I "close" the another disconnected session, Postgres exit with 128 code.
Did you reproduce this behavior?

Who, me? I don't do Windows --- I'd have no way to test it.
