What Windows version are you running on? 32-bit, 64-bit? What are the install options?

[kajal-thakur]

Hello, I'm using windows 64 but OS and when I installed the software I chose the default settings that means I clicked only on 'next' button and then finally clicked on 'finish'. I hope this helps. Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance.

You chose to not fill out any "insert here" blanks in the issue reporting template... all I tried was to ask again. It's actually important information. You answers are too vague to help, unfortunately.

Mintty always works if I open it from a plain CMD window by running D:\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe -; while it very often fail if I run /usr/bin/mintty.exe - from a shell of bash.exe & conhost.

steps to reproduce

R:\working\git2> set PATH=C:\Windows\System32

R:\working\git2> .\git-bash

R:\working\git2> set PATH=C:\Windows\System32

R:\working\git2> .\usr\bin\bash.exe
git2$ /usr/bin/mintty.exe -
git2$ ls mintty.exe.stackdump -l
