We can confirm that the file is not deleted by antivirus.

 

When windows is shutdown abruptly, we are noticing this issue.

We will post this query in pgsql-general and check if someone else has encountered the same issue.

 

Regards,

Joel

Hi,

 

We are using Windows 2019 server.

 

Sometimes we see the pg_ctl.exe getting automatically deleted.

Due to this, while starting up Postgres windows service we are getting the error.

“Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified”

 

Can you let us know the potential causes for this pg_ctl.exe file deletion?

 

 

PostgreSQL will never delete pg_ctl.exe

 

Check your antivirus software logs for false positives.

 

This mailing list is for software development on postgres so I suggest following up on pgsql-general.

Joel
