CMS postgresql not working

stlkr82

DAZ CMS postgresql stopped working.
I thought it was a case of new router having closed ports - nope.
deleted appdata/roaming/etc files - didn't help.
reinstalled Postgresql few times in different possible ways- still not working.
reinstalled DAZ Studio - nothing changed.
Daz, DIMM etc had and has all admin privileges.
Seems like postgresql is not runnning in background.
In fact it doesn't run at all.
all what has changed on my pc for last week was:
- updated nvidia drivers
- moved to new flat with new router
- uninstalled mcaffe free web advisor
also I can't install postgresql from their website due some semicolon error
and my cmd executable seems to be shutting itself down
(that might have smthng with postgresql not working according to my it friend)

is there anything except for installing windows again?

So if you uninstalled a web security componant, has your pc fallen back to using windows firewall? Is it now blocking cms and postgresql?

Can't remember the site that shows you how to, but you can do a manual postgre connection test.

DS and DIM have to tell PostgreSQL to start, it sounds as if something - most likely the security software - is blocking that instruction.

which software? McAffe? uninstalled and still cmd doesn't work.
Malwarebytes? it can't block software.
windows defender - turned off all functions.

FOUND A SOLUTION:
The problem was caused by Windows CMD closing down after opening.
