After abrupt shutdown of Windows, we are seeing the pg_ctl.exe file getting deleted automatically.
Only pg_ctl.exe gets deleted? Anyway, there's nothing in Postgres that says "delete pg_ctl.exe on startup".
This smells strongly of filesystem corruption which requires a Windows guru.
Not that I am one, but this smacks of anti-virus software that mistakenly
thinks "pg_ctl.exe" is malware and removes or "isolates" it.
OP mentioned that they checked that AV didn't "delete" the file. Nothing
about quarantine, though.
