Hello All,

 

I've just upgraded a machine from Windows 10 to Windows 11. 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.<redacted>\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.
