Team,
After abrupt shutdown of Windows, we are seeing the pg_ctl.exe file
getting deleted automatically.
Maybe English is your second language, but "we are seeing" means that
Windows regularly shuts down, and deletes pg_ctl.exe every time. Therefore,
you must be reinstalling pg_ctl.exe every time.
Due to this Postgres service cannot be started and need to be re-installed.
We have checked the antivirus and confirmed that it didn’t delete the file.
Can you let us know if anyone has observed the file getting deleted upon
abrupt shutdown of Windows?
*Only* pg_ctl.exe gets deleted? Anyway, there's nothing in Postgres that
says "delete pg_ctl.exe on startup".
This smells strongly of filesystem corruption which requires a Windows guru.
