Default Fix for PostgreSQL cannot start error 127.0.0.1

If youve just recently had a problem where it says Failed to establish a connection to ‘127.0.0.1’ then its most likely due to an update microsoft released for defender. Please try the following to fix it

1: Go to "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc" and open the "hosts" file with
notepad

It might look something like this:

PHP Code:
**************************************************
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

::1             localhost
****************************************************** 
2: Enter "127.0.0.1 localhost" (without the quotes) at the bottom of the
file, so it looks like this:

PHP Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

4: Save the file
5: Reboot your PC
