Geertjan Wielenga commented on NETBEANS-2631:
---------------------------------------------
Something else is that you may have icons on your Desktop or in your user
directory that are broken, and somehow NetBeans is scanning the Desktop or the
user directory, and detects these broken links.
> File Open blocked by Windows message: Windows is searching for mintty.exe
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-2631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2631
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 11.0
> Reporter: Bernard
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: messages.log, messages.log
>
>
> I installed:
> Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build
> incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319)
> Java: 11.0.2; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.2+9-LTS
> Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 11.0.2+9-LTS
> System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_NZ (nb)
> On installation, I let the IDE import settings from a 8.2 version.
> How I reproduce it:
> Menu|File|Open File
> And here it starts with multiple Windows dialogs:
> "Windows: Windows is searching for mintty.exe. To locate the file yourself,
> browse."
> After a while I get another Windows dialog:
> "The item mintty.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved,
> so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
> Nearest match, based on size, date and type C:\Program
> Giles\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe
> Do you want to fix this shortcut to point to this target or do you just want
> to delete it?"
> I let it ix it.
> This sequence repeats 3 times until I eventually get the file selection
> dialog which lets me open a file.
> But it never gets fixed. Every time I use Menu|File|Open File, the sequence
> repeats, meaning I need about 10 minutes to open a file. Unfortunately I
> cannot continue using NetBeans 11 because of this bug, and I am back to 8.2
> once again. See NETBEANS-1824.
