That has been known to happen when the query history file has been
corrupted. You could try deleting it:
%APPDATA%\postgres\pgadmin_histoqueries.xml

Only in cases where people have tried to load tables with millions of

multi-megabyte PostGIS geometries). In a nutshell, the controls in
pretty much any OS have finite limits on the amount of data they can
handle well.
