As long as the postgres user account is not in the admin group check
that the postgresql service is set to Log on as user postgres.

Not sure of the command line but in the gui the service settings has a
'Log On' tab that allows you to set a specific user to run the service.
This is where you need to check that your postgres user is used to start
the service or maybe the password there doesn't match the new account.
