Cygwin - mintty.exe is stuck when I try to quit
I'm running Windows 10 with Cygwin.
When opening Cygwin from the start menu (Pointing to C:cygwin64binmintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico - and then entering "exit", the process gets unresponsive and I have to kill it from the task manager.
I tried the following:
- Open a cmd (not elevated) and then enter the command as it appears in the shortcut. It does not start in my home folder (C:cygwin64homedavid) but it exits gracefully.
- Changing the shortcut to run as administrator - Cygwin quits gracefully but it's a hassle to approve the program to run as administrator.
Any more ideas?
Thanks!

Hi @harrymc , I wrote in my question that running the app as administrator solves the issue but it's a hassle.

@matzeri - You are right - I have one of the apps listed in the page, disabling it solves the issue. Can you post it as the answer?

Malfunction of cygwin programs is usually caused by third part programs.
Most Antivirus or unusual behaving drivers
A not exaushing list is available at
https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda
If you have some of them you can try disabling or removing those.
