I'm using the HM2 since 2013, it worked fine with windows 7, but since I updated to windows 10 the problems started. I've tried every step of the following FAQ, so please don't come with a robotic answer asking me to do the FAQ again without even read everything I wrote. Hold'Em Manager 2 FAQs - Poker Software :: Can not Connect / Failed to Start PostgreSQL
What happens? From time to time (sometimes it happens within 3 hours of use, others in 8-9 hours), the HM2 stucks and don't work anymore. When relaunching it says the HM2 can't connect to the PostgreSQL database server. And this is the error I get.relaunching.jpg
In this screen I've tried the following, resetting the password and using another port but both didn't work. When I reboot my computer the HM2 works fine again until the next couple hours and then I go through this again and again.
I'm currently using Windows Defender and have already put the processes that have something to do with HM2 in the exclusions (eg pg_ctl.exe, postgres.exe, holdemmanager.exe and some more). I've already allowed the same processes in the firewall, and I've already unticked that Read only box from all these files and changed the permission settings of all these files. Tried to stop/start the postgreSQL service but it also didn't work. After all these tries, I decided to uninstall postgresql and HM2 and reinstall other versions of SQL (8.4, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4). All unsuccessful attempts.
But today I monitored the postgres.exe processes and it was running, hm2 working and while grinding the problem occurs again. I checked the task manager and there it is, one of the postgres.exe with a suspended status.postgresql server.png
Pretty sure it has something to do with my problem, but have no clue what can be causing it or how to solve. As I haven't found any problem exactly the same as mine and I can't stand rebooting my computer 2-3 times per day/session I decided to post for help. Hope someone can help me with this without having to reinstall windows.
