For the past year I have been starting every session by going Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services->PostgresSQL and starting the service before I fire up HEM. The setting has always been on manual and this has worked quite well. Now, briefly after I have started Postgres it will turn off without warning. I only noticed when me HEM started failing to import hands. I tried changing it to the automatic setting without effect. I read in the FAQs that new firewall or defender programs can disrupt Postgres, but in the period since my last successful session and now I have not installed or upgraded any software of this type.
I am unsure how to proceed from here. Thanks
