​First, and major point, PgAdmin is _NOT_ a part of PostgreSQL. It is a 3rd
party application written by a different set of developers. It is supported
by them, not the PostgreSQL people.

Perhaps more helpful would be if you were to say what version of PgAdmin
you are running. The latesrt is PgAdmin 4 version 1.3. It is said to work
with PostgreSQL 9.6 and above. You may need to upgrade to this version of
PgAdmin.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

When I downloaded, I have only "Interactive installer by EnterpriseDB"
which is packaged with Postgres, Pgadmin.
My pgadmin is in version 4. I don't have more details.

When I launched pgadmin 4, I have this screen :

So for me, I thnik this package 9.6.2 has been tested before publish no ?

It has been extensively tested by a dedicated team of QA people, but
unfortunately it's not feasible to test every possible combination of
hardware/software there is.

This particular issue has been seen a few times in the field, but never
reproduced by us. It has become apparent that it's a known issue in
QtWebEngine on which current versions of pgAdmin are built. I have created
a test build (just pgAdmin, not including the database server) which is
available here: https://developer.pgadmin.org/~dpage/. This build uses an
alternative rendering engine - please let us know if it works (reports from
others affected are that it does solve the problem).

Thanks.

Re: BUG #14611: Black screen when launching pgadmin4

Hello,

I have installed the pgadmin provided by you and I have the same problem
when I launch your version.

It's very strange. Do I need install java or another tools ?

Are you certain you're starting the standalone version? It'll have it's own
separate start menu icon - it doesn't update the version bundled with
PostgreSQL.

No.

Then I have no idea I'm afraid. Other users have all reported that the new
build fixes this problem for them. The bug is a known issue in QtWebEngine,
which the test build doesn't use at all.

Can you provide a screenshot of the issue, shown in the test build please?
