I'm unable to find configuration of pgAdmin4 on Windows 8.1 - windows-8.1

I'm new to PostgreSQL, just installed it along with pgAdmin4. After installation when I clicked on the pgAdmin4 it start in the browser of IE. But I want that in my chrome browser so I searched for it. Most of the people have mentioned or shared a picture of pgAdmin 4 configuration like this.
They mentioned it like right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure but the pgAdmin is not showing in the system tray of window 8.1. Or may be I'm misunderstanding about the system tray. Because in windows 8.1 pgAdmin 4 directly opens in browser.
The browser issues is fixed by change by default browser to chrome but I'm still unable to find this configuration setting. Can anyone help me to understand or get this screen?

pgAdmin 4 is a web server, so when you click pgAdmin 4 on the start menu, it starts the web server in the background, then opens a browser to connect to it.
The web server running in the background should have added a small icon to the system tray in the lower right corner.
On my Window 7 it looks like this:

Launching pgAdmin v4 on a browser that is not the default one

I have pgAdmin v4 installed, my default browser is Firefox, but I would like to open pgAdmin as a standalone app on Chrome. I fixed that problem following the procedure described in various Stackoverflow answers such as Launch pgAdmin 4 as a standalone app using chrome browser commands and pgAdmin 4 v3.1 How can I use another browser? (Win 7), i.e. configuring the "Browser command" option of pgAdmin to use Chrome.
That worked till sometime ago, but with the latest versions (at least 4.24 an 4.25) there is a problem: when I launch pgAdmin it still opens the default browser and not Chrome, as I configured. However, if I right click on the icon of the system tray and select "New pgAdmin 4 window..." it correctly opens Chrome.
I thought it was just me, but I found that there is at least another user with the same problem.
As pointed out by a developer of EnterpriseDB (the company behind pgAdmin) in this answer, that is a bug in the QT library that happens on Windows platform; it has already been reported and developers are working on that.

pgAdmin 4 v3.1 How can I use another browser? (Win 7)

I'd like to change my default browser to IE (as that one has most of our internal sites programmed for). But currently, I can only get pgadmin4 to work well with Opera.
Is there a way to tell pgAdmin4 to use a different browser apart from the stock one?
With the latest version of pgAdmin4, developers have added copy URL option on right click on tray icon, Download the latest version then right click on pgAdmin4 tray icon which will give you option to Copy URL, once you click that option then open your desired browser and paste the URL and hit Enter.
And you are good to go :)
Also, there is an option to run the custom browser command also.
In new chrome versions you can run pgAdmin 4 as "native" desktop app. While the pgAdmin v4 web server is running, right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure... In the Browser Command input add the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=%URL%
If you want to run in chrome browser window, configure command like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" %URL%
Hope this helps.
Run your pgadmin in default browser.
right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure as shown in the image.
use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=%URL% to run as stand alone app.
or
paste "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " %URL% in browser command box to run with internet explorer

Chrome Devtools is missing Sources when attached to remote Node JS

I'm running Chrome 67 on Windows connecting to my Ubuntu PC which is running NodeJS 8
I have an ssh tunnel setup to the Ubuntu PC so I can connect the Chrome Debugger to Node.
Chrome://inspect/#devices correctly spots the Remote Target
This allows me to click on the inspect link to open the debugger.
The Debugger connects and the console prints debug data from the running Node JS app confirming that things look good.
In the console messages, I can click on the links and have them open the source files
If I click on the Sources tab, I expect to see a Sources side panel (ref) displaying the file hierarchy but it seems to be completely lacking.
If I click on Add folder to workspace then it opens up a local file browser.
Has this feature been removed in newer versions of Chrome? If so is there a new way to view the remote file list?
Do not click on Inspect under Remote Target
Click on Open dedicated DevTools for Node
This will launch a specific version of DevTools configured for Node which features the Node file system

x2go resolution from windows client

I'm happily using x2go to connect to a remote Ubuntu Server 16.04 with XFCE installed from my local pc with a local resolution of 1920x1080 on a HiDPI screen (13''). If I run the x2go client from a virtualized Linux (Linux Mint 18.03 with XFCE), everything works well and I can see a really sharp image of the remote desktop. Problem is, when I try to connect directly from Windows 10 the image is blurred and the resolution is wrong. I tried to play around with the x2go client settings but no way, the image is always terrible. I also tried to use PyHoca and different X-servers but the result is the same.
Is it a well-known problem? Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I had a very similar problem: A Dell laptop with an Nvidia graphics card, having a resolution of the built-in flat panel of 1280x800. I connected this to an external screen with HDMI with a resolution of 1920x1080. However, X2Go seemed to pick up the resolution of the built-in screen instead of the actual screen, making everything seem blurry (interpolating 1280x800 to 1920x1080).
This is what fixed it for me: Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\X2GoClient\VcXSrv\ directory in Explorer. Select the vcxsrv.exe file and right-click it, choosing Properties from the popup menu. Go to the Compatibility tab, and in the Settings section there, select the option "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and then select "Application" in the combo-box below.
Restart the X2Go Client to have its X server start with this new setting.
This fix also solved X2Go Windows Client crashes in my setup.
I have basically the same scenario: connecting from a high DPI Windows laptop to KDE on Debian, in my case for Desktop Sharing. The client would connect okay, but display only a portion of the remote host's screen.
Keyboard shortcuts would not scroll the client window.
Any attempt to show more (maximize, go full screen, click-and-drag client window border) would seem to work for a second, then crash.
The Compatibility scaling change fixed the instability - no more crashes, yay! - but did lead to slow repaints as noted by Algeboy.
Upgrading to a newer version of VcXsrv also did not resolve the crashes - Compatibility change still required, but screen repaints are quicker.
To upgrade, download and install the latest VcXsrv in its own directory. Using Explorer or whathaveyou, apply the HiDPI setting to vcxsrv,exe.
Start x2go client but don't start a session. Click Options, Settings, then X.Org Server settings tab. Select "use custom x server". Point to the newly installed vcxsrv.exe and click okay. Restart the x2go client.
This apparently takes the version from 1.20.6.0 supplied by x2go to 1.20.14.0 (2022-04).
Screen refreshes are quicker if I minimize all applications on the host, allowing it to repaint the desktop, then restore whatever I want to work on.

Launching app in hidden window using Remote Desktop Connection (Win 10)

How can I see the window of an app that shows on the second screen of my multi-monitor set-up when I remote in from another computer?
For example:
...on my laptop:
cmd: mstsc /span
rdc display configuration: Full Screen + Use all of my monitors for the remote session
...on the remote computer:
Open GitGUI or FileZilla for example.
Task bar shows application open.
The hover preview shows the app is open.
I can't see the app window on my screen (can't interact with it).
Nothing I do brings the app to a window I can use.
Anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks
Figured it out. Using the Windows key plus the right/left arrows, I can move windows from desktop to desktop.
