title: How can I start PostgreSQL on Windows?
body: <p>I have installed Postgresql on my Windows 10 PC. I have used the pgAdmin II tool to create a database called company, and now I want to start the database server running. I cannot figure out how to do this.
   I have run the start command on the postgres command line, and nothing seems to happen.</p>
  
  <p>What I doing is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>postgres=# pg_ctl start
  postgres=# pg_ctl status
  postgres=# pg_ctl restart
  postgres=# pg_ctl start company
  postgres=# pg_ctl status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>.....-> I am seeing nothing returned.</p>
