On a Microsoft Surface running CYGWIN_NT-10.0 version 2.4.1(0.293/5/3) I cannot start Cygwin from the desktop shortcut. It fails to find mintty. On failure, it proffers a browsing window focused on /bin. Clicking on mintty in that window does not work. I can start Cygwin via a Windows "run" request, however.
On a Dell desktop machine running CYGWIN_NT-6.3 version 1.7.34(0.285/5/3) where the shortcut works, I see that the pathname in the shortcut ends in mintty.exe. The .exe extension is missing in the 2.4.1 shortcut. Could this be the cause? If so, is there a convenient way to edit a shortcut?
