Hello,
I apologize for not responding earlier - but a project kept me overly
busy, so extra cycles to reply here were not available.
The winner is: Richard Beels. Yes, you are right. Comodo was the source
of my problems.
What's funny is that when I migrated to Win10, I ran into this before
and had it fixed using some magic settings in Comodo. Magic because the
way the setting needed to be made to really work was against logic.
Now, just prior to my posting, the problem re-occurred, so I naturally
did not think of Comodo again causing this.
As it turns out, the culprit was a Windows Update that somehow undid the
settings in Comodo that I had carefully made before.
In the meantime, I had another run of Windows Update that influenced the
function of the Comodo firewall - resulting in rendering it partially
ineffective until reboot.
So, thanks for the quick feedback to all... yes, I managed to fix it again.
And for the record:
- Comodo Antivirus has not caused any problems.
- Comodo Auto-containment is fine, you may just want to exclude Cygwin
from the applications that may be contained. Not essential, though.
- Comodo HIPS I have on paranoid mode, anyway, just don't suppress any
pop-ups.
- Comodo VirusScope should only affect contained applications.
- Comodo Website Filterings is not really relevant, but I have it OFF,
anyway.
- Comodo Firewall has not caused any problems.
So, that's it? No. in the settings of Comodo, there is another section
"Advanced Protection" with the ominous title "Miscellanous".
- Heuristics: can cause issues with some scripts, I have it turned off.
- Detection of shellcode injections breaks some Cygwin mechanisms, turn
it off.
So, that's it? No. The shellcode injections option actually has a list
of exclusions.
If you simply turn the feature off, it won't help making Cygwin work.
You have to explicitly enable it, add all applications to the exclusion
list, then disable it.
Et voil=C3=A1! Cygwin works.
Cheers,
--J=C3=BCrgen
