Subject: BUG: Log on Scheduled Task invisible/empty window blocks input
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2023 09:16:08 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6d77eda9-fee1-413a-8302-4657a639f9e3@icloud.com> (raw)

Hi,

This particular issue with the invisible windows that pop up seems to be 
a relatively a new issue with cygwin with recent win11.

With a slightly older windows 10, these conhost tasks with their 
invisible windows do not pop up at all (that I've noticed).

And no amount of using "run.exe" to launch seems to help.
Not using Administrator privileges on the shortcut does not seem to help 
either.

All I know is that the same shortcut links and .bat files that worked 
for 10+ years to start x11, start a mintty etc...

are now producing  conhost.exe tasks with windows that are invisble. And 
something triggers these windows to start blocking mouse input. Once 
that happens, ctrl-alt-delete and then pressing escape seems to quiet 
them down (so that mouse selection works again on the blocked areas of 
the desktop, for a short while at least.

Killing the conhost tasks resolves the mouse i/o issue, but it seems to 
interrupt copy/paste of text.

How can I fix this?
Please help!
Thank you
-Jason
