pgadmin 4 v4.28 keeps loading

I installed pgadmin 4 v4.28 and it keeps loading but does not open, I tried opening it as administrator and it still does not open. I had the older version previously but I have deleted PostgreSQL DB and pg admin properly before I install the above version. can you guys help me out on this? the link I have the screenshot of the problem.

Do the following steps to resolve this:

• Open your registry editor.
• Change the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js\Content Type from text/plain to text/javascript.
• Restart the pgadmin server. You can do this by ending the pgadmin background task from the task manager.

UPDATED ANSWER

PGAdmin has been tracking this as bug 5996. In it, they recommend the following solution:

> You can add the following lines to the "config_distro.py" and > restart the pgAdmin 4 server: > > import mimetypes > mimetypes.add_type('text/javascript', '.js') > > The above workaround should work for you.

They also mention:

> In the next release, we're looking to include that into the code, so > users don't have to do it themselves. > > But the answer to your question, the config_distro.py can be overwritten > in the subsequent upgrades. > > pgAdmin does provide another option to set the settings in the > config_system.py file which is intended for system administrator to > include settings and which is outside of the pgAdmin installation. > Please refer https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.28/config_py.html > for more details.

Interestingly enough, GoLang, TensorBoard, Django, and many others have had issues filed regarding this same problem. Browsers are refusing to load content because the browser thinks it is being transferred as 'text/plain', based on the registry configuration.

Edited on 25 May 2022 (New Link for pgadmin4 download)

You all have great answers...but then on the experience i just had, the simplest way, which worked for me right away is to install the new version of pgadmin4 without necessarily uninstall the existing one.

That is what i did and i was able to still see all my databases and tables unchanged and untempered.

Just run the installation and you are good to go

You can also downgrade your PgAdmin. I didn't want to change anything in registry editor. So I downloaded and installed pgadmin4-3.6. It works fine on Windows 10 (x64).

I just upgraded PG Admin from v4.28 to V4.29 and it resolved my issue. One can download it from here https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.29/windows/

This is similar to vialy's recomendation. Thanks Vialy's for your input it save my day... :)

I had the same issue with pgAdmin 4.28 using Chrome Browser on windows 10. It started working after I switched to Edge Browser.
