I use latest Cygwin Emacs W32 under Windows 10 x64 and Emacs spawns external processes like hg/git when it open file.
Sometimes it freezes and in procexp I see spawned Emacs fork. Usual build-in Emacs C-g key binding doesn't help much (it work with lots of key press and long delay). It is faster to find Emacs fork in procexp and kill it. I've read https://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures and some suggestion to debug is: CYGWIN=detect_bloda How can I get messages from GUI program? Emacs W32 open conhost terminal buffer. Is that a place where I should expect warn message? What if problem occur in temporary spawned processes from Emacs? Do they attached to conhost terminal buffer? I have one BLODA, Windows Defender (win10 x64). How can I disable it? I see tricks like: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender] "DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001 "DisableRoutinelyTakingAction"=dword:00000001 I have Home license and have no access to Group Policy editor... -- http://defun.work/ -- 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
