Basically whenever I did pretty much anything in cygwin I was getting the error : CreateFileandSetSecurity failed with FALSE (Expected on FAT Partitions) GLE: 32 CreateFileandSetSecurity failed with TRUE (not expected) GLE: 32 To cut a long story short I found that this was being caused by the file alockout.dll in the windows system32 directory, a file which is distributed in a microsoft toolkit to help debugging account lockout problems. Considering I wasn't having any problems with account lockouts I removed the reference of it from my windows registry and deleted the dll (after restarting) and the errors have disappeared for me.
