Got fresh w10 vm, put cygwin64 and both versions of emacs 24.4 and 24.5 from fsf ftp onto it.... And trying to start bash as shell fails under both versions! => I was mistaken in the origin of my instance of 24.4 (it must have come from another source, and I do not remember which).... It says: GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2014-10-21 on KAEL => both versions from fsf ftp appear to be compiled using mingw GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570 GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-10-24 on LEG570 So the difference seems to be in the difference of mingw compilation mode. That's as far as I got tonight. Maybe someone has knowledge to share about the cause and what to do about this?I'd say this is somehow related to 64-bit Cygwin programs being run by 32-bit native Windows programs. The version which works for you is a 64-bit executable, those that don't are 32-bit.
Just to follow up on this for the sake of the archives, Eli is correct (no surprise). The problem seems to be a result of recent changes to Windows 10, and Corinna is working on a fix. See
