What exactly file pg_clog/0085 exactly is ? Thank you for any advice. Now i'm trying to check file permission and antivirus.

 I faced this error before a week only. Fortunately we have a valid backup and we restored the file (0085) in pg_clog directory. In our case it is the corruption issue.  Kindly check with permission and also under the /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog directory whether the file (0085) is there or not ? If it is not there than try to reload it from the backup. At last you can touch the file and restart the database. However, in this case you will be lose your data.

You need to fix that "Permission denied" problem.  Either the file
really is marked as not readable by the postgres user, or (probably
more likely on Windows) you have some malfunctioning "antivirus"
software installed.
