There are several ways to verify the PostgreSQL installation. You can try to connect to the PostgreSQL database server from any client application. But a quick way to verify the installation is through the psql program that comes with the Windows installation.

First, click the psql application to launch it (or enter psql in the searchbar). The psql command-line program will display.

Most likely your PostgreSQL service is not running. If you are running a SystemD based distribution (which you probably do), what is the output of:
systemctl status postgresql.serivce
