@Bokizz Can you please provide information from About dialogue. Main Menu Help > About pgAdmin4. Also can you please check if there any errors in console which can be accessed via Main Menu View > Toggle Developer Tools.

Can you please try clearing cache at /Users//Library/Application Support/pgAdmin 4/Cache ? Also have you downloaded correct installer as per your machine architecture?

[Bokizz]

I tried these steps unfortunately the about info is not opening and the console isnt showing up i downloaded the right installer, im going to try a total reinstall again

We have the same Problem. The weird thing is, that it is working on our Laptops but not on our Workingstation. On the Workingstation outside the our Network is the Installation also not a problem.

Hi @Bokizz @Shelicus try removing directory /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/pgAdmin 4 and then start pgAdmin.

Of course I did. I think there is something blocked from our Network. I am not sure if it is a a Bug of the pgAdmin or postgres

[rodgermoore]

Please check if its a UI problem. Maybe its this: https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/7781

I had the same problem, and I managed to fix it by editing the config.json file, which on macOS is located at ~/Library/Application Support/pgadmin. I changed the parameters to x=0, y=0, and width=100, and it worked for me.

Hi Bokizz

Can you please check on the latest version? Electron seems to have fixed the issue.

[akshay-joshi]

There is no response from the author, hence closing it.

[Shelicus]

Yeah, now it is working without Problems 👍

I was investigating the same issue, was not starting under W10 x64 Pro, (not) running pgAdmin 4 v8, as far as I know; did not matter what I tried, I restarted both my pg Windows Services 16 and 14, 16 for which I have database catalog and tables in particular, I am working with at the moment. Both of which restarted, neither of which helped. About to restart my computer, but would be helpful if I understood better if/where any pgAdmin logs were being documented.
