I am currently restoring a database and I tried to restore the database three times. The third time I succeeded but unfortunately it seems that the other two attempts at restoring the database are still running but never finish.

I have these two blue windows on the pgAdmin screen which I can not remove or stop executing. I tried a lot of things, I even uninstalled PostgreSQL two times but the restoring windows appeared again.

I am using Windows 8 and PostgreSQL 9.6.

  • Do you see multiple pgAdmin 4 processes in Task Manager?

  • Thank you for your answer. No there is just one process for pgAdmin 4 in Task Manager.

  • It sounds then as a bug. I think your best idea is to report it. Also, have you tried to uninstall pgAdmin 4 itself? Hopefully it cleans up after itself.

  • Yes I uninstalled everything, well I at least tried to. I will report it thank you though.

  • I had the same problem and I took the simple way, I delete the server from pgAdmin and then I created it again and thats it, no more infinite back up precesses.

I had the same problem and this helped me to solve it:

SQL command to clean job queue in pgAdmin 4

I just had to uninstall pgAdmin, delete all the files on C:Program Files directory and in App Data directory, as well.

  • Why not only the file the linked answer mentions?

  • That's actually a good one. I have started with deleting the installed files so I had it little bit messy afterwards. That's why I did delete actually all the files and started everything from the scratch.

  • It can help, to delete just the one file in App Data directory.

  • because deleting the file this will remove all the setup of PGAdmin (e.g. stored servers and connections). @PavelReissmann thx for the great tip!

  1. Close pgAdmin.
  2. Kill the process (pg_dump.exe) from Task Manager window.
  3. Open pgAdmin and click on "Click here for details" in the blue-popup-window.
  4. Close the details-popup-window opened.

  • I had to do an intermediate step between 2 & 3: renaming/moving the file it tries to import. Next time you open PGAdmin 4 the job fails immediately

You can just delete this file C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin database file but the AppData is a hidden directory , you type %AppData% in the start in windows , you will directed to Roaming folder .
