You can try removing McAfee temporarily:
1) Uninstall any 3rd party security software (even windows defender or security essentials) bundles and dont reinstall them until after you reconnect postgresql.
2) Reboot your computer
3) Uninstall HM2* and then Reinstall HM2 -

- After downloading, you should right-click the file, go to properties and click unblock.*
* If you do not see an 'unblock' option you can ignore this step.
- Then, right click the file and run as administrator.
4) Enable Windows Firewall's recommended settings through your Control Panel, turn off Windows Defender (unless you are using Windows 10, in which case it should be enabled), and add firewall exceptions for HM and SQL -

5) Install Microsoft Security Essentials (unless you are using Windows 10) for antivirus/malware protection and update it -

*This will not affect your database, settings or original hands in your archive folder.
And/Or you can try the following. If none of it helps make sure you send us the logs as instructed at the end of my previous reply, and again at the end of the following reply:
Please try a clean install of HM2. This will preserve your database and backup your HUD and settings.
1) Export any custom HUD configs.
2) Open the HM2 > HUD Settings > HUD Designer menu > Click 'Reset' > [x] All Configs > OK
Step 1 – Restore Default Settings:
First
try restoring your default settings, often some settings files can become corrupt and cause these issues.
Step 2 – Uninstall and reinstall HM2 with Revo uninstaller:
Other times critical system files may not have been installed on previous updates and it can also cause these types of errors or in some cases antiviruses may have removed files that it mistook for unsafe. Doing a revo uninstall also removes old registry file information which might have become corrupt. You can download the
free version here and there is a useful tutorial
how to use it here.
Uninstall Holdem Manager 2 via Revo unistaller and then
reinstall this version.
Please add this file to your firewall and antivirus exceptions and run it as Administrator.
Step 3 – Follow the steps
in this FAQ.
Step 4: If the default settings work, please use the FAQ in step 1 to restore your settings and test them. If the problems then return you will need to reset your settings to default again and use those going forward.
If you continue to have problems, please duplicate the issue and send us log files with a detailed description of what you were doing and what problems you were experiencing:
- Open Windows Event Viewer's (Control Panel > System & Security > Administrative Tools or Start > Search > 'Event Viewer') > Windows Logs > Applications.
- Check for any errors and send the information (Save All Events As...).
- Please send your \HM2Logs folder files as well.
When sending any files please zip them (right-click > send to > compressed folder) before attaching them to an email. If the attachment is larger than 10MB please upload them to a file hosting site like dropbox, then right-click > 'copy public link' and paste the download link directly into the support ticket email. If you have any problems with dropbox try using filedropper.com
