The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-pg-ctl.html
Description:

Could it be added that in Windows pg_ctl needs to be run as administrator? I
spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the program didn't run, before
I found the answer online.

We don't have a lot of operating-spefic text in our docs, so a better
solution might be to issue an error message suggesting the cause.  What
command are you running and what does the failure look like?
