I have downloaded PostgreSQL 10.4 and when I launch it pgAdmin4 opens in a web browser. I want to use the desktop mode and I don't know how to do it on Windows 7. Any help ?

  • I would't now pgAdmin to have a "desktop mode" nor a "web mode" (the latter being pointless anyway, as it would need to install a web server somewhere, which would need access to the database.) It is just a desktop application. What's the URL it opens? And what do you see when you do a right click on the link, choosing "Properties" in the "General" tab? – sticky bit May 26 '18 at 15:41

    @stickybit: pgAdmin 4 is indeed a web application, and yes it starts a local web server for that. Pretty annoying –  Jul 07 '18 at 11:06
  • @a_horse_with_no_name: Yes, in deed. The time I posted the comment I only new the old version of pgAdmin 4 which was no web application then. I just recently found out, that they switched to a web application (and am desperately trying to get [pgAdmin 3 LTS](https://www.openscg.com/bigsql/pgadmin3/) to run... but that's another story...). – sticky bit Jul 07 '18 at 13:25

Latest non-web desktop version was v2.1 https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v2.1/windows/

Since v3.0 they completely moved to browser version

I was facing the same issue.

Download PgAdmin III - it's separate query editor
official link v1.22.2/win32
