I just downloaded and installed PostgreSQL from here
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
I wanted to create my first server but I get this error
'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 36: invalid start byte
My pg service is running automatically
What am I missing?

I just installed PGADMIN version 4.11 in windows 10 and the issue persists...
So I shut down the PGADMIN instance in the task-tray and started it again from the start menu.
Typed the 'master password' and voila, it is working.

Try to add the following line at the end of the data\pg_hba.conf file and then restart the PostgreSQL service.
host all all all md5
Good luck.

Same thing here (postgresql 9.6 on windows) when I tried to using query tool. It's happend after I changed postgres user password using pgadmin 4. I simply restarted the postgresql service, started pgadmin 4 and then it asked for the new password. After typed it, no more error message.

This has been fixed with pgAdmin4 v3.0.
Could you try downloading the latest version of pgAdmin4 & Check? https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
