When starting mintty from a desktop shortcut as I usually do, it hangs while consuming one CPU. My previous workaround no longer works interestingly enough, so starting mintty from a Cygwin shell started in cmd via cygwin.bat now _also_ hangs in the same way. As before, starting any non-Cygwin program like cmd or strace with the mintty shortcut works correctly and mintty doesn't hang. The new workaround is to start a mintty with cmd inside, then from this cmd run the command that I'd usually invoke via the desktop shortcut (i.e another mintty with my login shell). That works and I can then work in that mintty without any problems (and close the first one). This _only_ happens on my work laptop (Windows Enterprise 1803). It doesn't happen on a system with Windows Server 2016 (that's 1607 I think) nor does it happen on Windows Pro 1909 or Windows Home 8.1.
