Re: [EXTERNAL] - Re: How to close pgAdmin4

Michelle,

Right click the little picture of the elephant, the context menu should
include an entry "Shut down server", select that and you will *correctly* shut
down pgAdmin4.

[image: context_menu_pgAdmin4_taskbar.png]

Some of your confusion probably stems from the fact, that contrary to
appearances, pgAdmin4 is still *not* a *desktop application*. It would
*really* be nice if we could get an actual desktop application, like
pgAdmin3 was, as opposed to the lobotomized web server that pgAdmin4 is.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
