Postgres localhost connection timeout (but was working before)

Question

>> psql
psql: error: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused (0x0000274D
/10061)
        Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
connection to server at "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
        Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

I can successfully run:

postgres --single -D "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/14/data"

I tried restarting the postgres-x64-16 service

If you are running two instances of Postgres on the same machine they have to be listening on different ports. Are you sure you have the 14 and 16 instances doing that? — Adrian Klaver

I tried running one at a time in services, both using port 5432 — Jason

Then given this Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections, what is listen_addresses set to in postgresql.conf? Read Connection settings for more information. Either the server is not running, it is running but not listening on port 5432 or it is not listening on the localhost interface. You need to determine which combination of those things is causing the issue. — Adrian Klaver
