The installation and applications are 32-bit that we've used for years. The installation is very trimmed down, it is not an "everything" install. How do I switch them to a 3GB user VM? The W10 users can clear the problem if they wait some number of minutes and keep rebooting their machines. Eventually after a while most of them get the problem to clear but this is a RPITA and it frustrates them no end. One W10 user seems unable to clear their problem and we keep uninstalling and reinstalling everything for them. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
