which is exactly the same as Cygwin 64 bash: $ file /bin/bash /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/bash /bin/bash: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/bash: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows as they are both Windows console exes: Windows "bash" is just the launcher for the console in which WSL/UoW/BfW runs -- trust MS to pick another wrong and confusing name to be "cute" -- like calling mintty "bash". -- Take care.
