Re: Postgresql error : PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record

The following error "could not locate a valid checkpoint record" occurs on a datastore server running on postgreSQL 13.1. 

Datastore is hosted on windows 2016 and the system has McAfee virus scan installed.

This error occurs when server start is attempted.
