Internal account lookup failure, when installing POSTGRESQL

My computer had Windows 7. I changed it to Windows 10. On windows 7, I installed postgresql correctly. But, now in Wibdows 10, right at the end of the installation this error appears:
"Internal account lookup failure: No mapping between account names and security identifiers."
From what I've been able to investigate, it indicates that I should change the username in Windows 10, and after changing the username, reboot the computer. I changed the user in Windows several times, but the Postgresql installation still does not complete.
Please someone help me.
Best regards

Did you perhaps use some very old pgsql installer or current one ?

Hello k-insis
In the Alaska Software download center, a version of PostGresql was available, whose display formats are the same as they use in the driver documentation. Since I am not an expert, I took to doing things as they suggested. Having problems with Windows 10, I had the same idea as you, download a more advanced version, and I no longer have problems.
Thank you.

Cool.
Do they still recommend 8.3 in documentation ?
It is beyond reasoning why they don't update officially recomended pgsql to anything current. They should test pgdbe with it when having all source and tools needed in house .
