Can you provide the cygcheck output, per
https://cygwin.com/problems.html? It might be useful to have the
cygcheck output from both the Win10 and Win11 VMs to compare, but the
Win11 VM where things aren't working is going to be the most useful
one there.

It might also be useful to know how you're calling vmstat: are you
doing it from a Cygwin Bash shell within MinTTY, or from a PowerShell
prompt using Windows' console, or something else? And are you running
with Administrator privileges?
