I downloaded and installed pgAdmin 8.1 and it shows up as such when I run it.

Look in:

D:\Users\dbarron-aas\AppData\Local\Programs\pgAdmin 4\runtime

for

pgAdmin4

Then double click on that. I'm guessing it will be 8.1.

Per Craig's comment I'm betting that the icon/shortcut you are clicking on currently is pointing back at the 7.x version.

The icon I am using to start points to D:\Users\dbarron-aas\AppData\Local\Programs\pgAdmin 4\v7\runtime\pgAdmin4.exe
I did a search and that is the only pgAdmin4.exe installed. When I double-click on it, 7.8 comes up.
I just went through the install again and there is no v8 directory but watching the install run I see that it's copying files to C:\Program Files\pgAdmin 4 instead.
Interesting. And Look! It's 8.1. Who would have thought.

Well, that's straightened out, anyway. Now, can I uninstall v7 without losing all my connection data?
