Thanks!
Unfortunately, this does not work for me on Windows 10.
And I cannot test on Windows 11; my previous report was bogus, I
self-compiled the unpatched cygwin1.dll for a cross-test but it fails.
Running bash from a Windows console, then Cygwin console works, also
running wsl from there. Running `mintty -h alw` says
The handle is invalid.
Error code: Bash/Service/ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
Thansk for testing.
Do you mean `mintty -h alw` works on self-compiled-unpatched
cygwin1.dll but does not work on self-compiled-patched cygwin1.dll?
From where do you start mintty?
1) Windows shortcut?
2) From command prompt?
- bash? - dash? - cmd? - PowerShell ISE?
3) From another mintty window?
- SHELL?
4) From WindowsTerminal?
- SHELL?
5) From Xwin XDG Menu? - just to complete the set:
$ head /usr/share/applications/mintty.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Cygwin Terminal
Exec=mintty
TryExec=mintty

$ cygcheck -hvf /usr/share/applications/mintty.desktop
