cygwin windows is searching for mintty missing

Not connected to a domain, no network drives.

This question has already been asked on SuperUser? ( ) and Cygwin mailing list. If you need me to run some other tests or need any more info from me, please ask and I'll do what I can. I'm dealing with this issue for some time now and it really impedes my work. I have cygserver running, using bash as my shell and have no fancy PS1 settings, my $CYGWIN is only winsymlinks:native. The task manager doesn't show any abnormally high CPU or memory usage on any process. In non-mc Cygwin usage this issue doesn't happen. Searching in files has a similar lag, but only once (ie not in every chdir it could have done). MC normally works fine: arrow presses work well, viewing and editing is instant, I can autocomplete paths on the command line with no lag.īut this one thing takes up to 10 seconds - changing directories. I have no idea what could be the reason for these hiccups. I'm using midnight commander with Cygwin 64 bit on Windows 10 64 bit.Īfter moving to a new machine and a clean reinstall of windows and Cygwin, my Midnight Commander started to get very laggy - starting mc, any change of directory or exiting from finding files (to refresh list of files in the two panes) takes long seconds.
