We are using Postgres 11 and 12 on Windows. No issues. A lot of the usage comes from Python/Psycopg2 and sometimes SQLAlchemy. Which all rock. Some usage is from C# using npgsql. Most of which also uses Entity Framework (supported by npgsql). No issues, that I have heard of. And some usage goes through ODBC. Which works fine. Except for bulk writes, but that is not the fault of Postgres ODBC driver. That is a limitation of the ODBC architecture in general. Our ODBC usage is in environments where that is the only option.
