Part of my work process is now broken because when starting cmd from Cygwin with the current directory on a mounted drive I get the following error/warning/issue: /cygdrive/j$ cmd '\\nas00.\devt\users\johnd' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.348] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Windows> The drive J: is mounted as something on our network (I've redacted a bit of the path, for probably no good reason) Is there a workaround? Or is this something that can be fixed in Cygwin? Thanks John. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
