PgAdmin for Windows in the latest version (4.28) doesn't start anymore, hangs in the loading screen and shows JavaScript errors in the browser console

PgAdmin in the latest version (4.28) doesn't start anymore, hangs in the loading screen and shows JavaScript errors in the browser console. What can I do?

Solution

  • The solution is simple although I don't really know why it occurs from that version on:

    1. Open the registry editor (Search for regedit.exe)
    2. Run it as administrator
    3. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js
    4. Adjust Content Type from text/plain to text/javascript
    5. Restart pgAdmin and it should work again.
    6. Maybe, you will have to clean your browser cache or restart your computer as well (Thanks to the Kassym and Bruce).

    As already I said, I have no idea why or how this happens, maybe someone from the team can add this as a comment here and I will update my answer.
