I've had a new problem with this version, which I have been able to work around. I normally do a two stage update of Cygwin, with the second stage being running down the "Install from Local Directory" path. This was silently existing. As it turned out, it was doing so as I had an old, setup.ini from a mirror I had unintentionally selected (rather than my preferred mirror). Here's the preamble to that setup.ini: == # This file was automatically generated at 2021-09-28 15:09:17 GMT. # # If you edit it, your edits will be discarded next time the file is # generated. # # See https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.ini.html for a description # of the format. release: cygwin arch: x86_64 setup-timestamp: 1632841757 include-setup: setup <2.878 not supported setup-minimum-version: 2.895 setup-version: 2.909 == I moved that out of the way, and then was able to proceed. I was fortunate that I acted on a hunch. Otherwise, even with -v on command line, there was nothing that could indicate to me what was causing the issue. I'm hoping that this silent exit can be fixed, to at least give an indication, via logging or pop-up or other, of what is blocking the install. -- Regards, Shaddy Baddah -- 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

(Or is it known that there is no solution?) Thanks for reporting this. Any guidance, pointers, suggestions of avenues for further research, or other information, will all be greatly appreciated. After more research and experimentation, it appears to be related to one of xorg-server, xorg-server-common, or xorg-server-xorg. Installing the older version 1.20.12-1 of these packages allows the windows to be moved between monitors without any issues. Upgrading to the current version 21.1.3-1 creates the problems. I'm able to replicate this behavior on two different laptops with two different external monitors. It seems likely that this is an unintended effect of changes in xorg-server 21.1.0-1, trying to fix problems in this area (See [1]) Thanks for the references. I've read all the messages in the thread - I was particularly intrigued by this comment: wrt the font scaling issue, looking at the source, it seems that we don't re-consider the display dpi after a WM_DISPLAYCHANGE message, but keep on using the value determined at startup. This is probably a bug. I'm curious enough to want to take a look at the code, but I've got no belief that I'm going to be able to find an answer. (I'm *not* a C++ programmer. I can read it and write a little of it, but that's about it.) I was going to start by comparing the last known-working version to the first known-non-working version, but given that it's a major release change, that's not likely going to be a useful approach. (I'm way out of my league here. It's probably going to take me a long time just to get to the point where I can even begin to explore this.) The relevant change, which tries to fix the issue identified in that comment, and probably introduces this issue is: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/jturney/xserver/-/commit/b19b6266d33f2b911dc1826ad5c03da135a39957 [...] If I change the scaling from 125% to 100% on the laptop's display, the problem appears until I restart Cygwin/X. Restarting Cygwin/X shows it displaying properly, until I change the scaling again. I could only reproduce this problem with mis-rendering when changing the scaling on the secondary monitor. Wow, I did a really poor job of writing that. I'm sorry. For clarity, just in case you were unable to interpret what I meant by what I wrote - At start: Laptop scaling set at 125%, second monitor at 100%. Mis-rendering occurs at start, on the second monitor only. If I change the scaling on the laptop, while the current instance of XWin is running - the same mis-rendering now occurs on the laptop. Interestingly enough, if I change the laptop from 125% to 100%, the tops are clipped as previously reported. But if I change the scaling from 125% to 150%, then the bottoms are clipped. (It kinda makes sense from what you've written.) If I then stop and restart XWin after having reset the scaling such that both monitors have the same setting, then the problem doesn't appear. Thanks for the clarification. The laptop display is the primary monitor in all cases, correct? Yes, the laptop display is the primary monitor in all cases. But, the real reason for my reply at this point is to report that I have found a solution for _my_ issue. I make no guarantees about any problems anyone else may be facing, nor can I make any statement about whether or not this causes other problems. Obligatory disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm doing here. I'm not a Windows developer, and I know just enough about cygwin to muddle my way through doing what I want to do with the help of the mailing lists and other resources. I'm not in a position to _explain_ anything. This works for me, but that's as far as I can go. First, the bottom line: XWin.exe.manifest, line 21 change: PerMonitorV2,PerMonitor to PerMonitor Some details: I managed to get to a point where I could build the packages from source and install them. I looked at the commit you referred me to, and started reverting changes, one-by-one - at least in so far as the change appeared to make sense to me. Anyway, I got to this change, and sure enough, it worked. Removing the "PerMonitorV2" solved the issue. Also, I confirmed that it's the "PerMonitorV2" that is causing the issue and not having both of them by running another test with just the "PerMonitorV2" - and that still shows the problem.

Re: ExitProcess does not work in Cygwin?
Greetings, Jay K! >> Just use POSIX exit(3)! > I did switch my code: > #ifdef __CYGWIN__ > exit(x); > #else > ExitProcess(x); > #endif > . It is best to avoid Cygwin-specific code. Use either Linux(POSIX) or Windows specific tests, and only test for Cygwin if /absolutely/ necessary. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, January 26, 2022 17:22:01 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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

The difference was entirely that the new setup installer was new. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen learns what programs are safe by seeing how many people download and use them, on the basis that things that are downloaded by lots of people and don't become known as a specific threat should be fine, whereas something unknown may well be some new malware. This flag doesn't indicate there's anything about 2.917 that had changed to worry about, only that it had changed and that you were one of the first to try to use it. If you don't have the ability to override the spurious warning, your only options will be to wait longer before using the new version, so SmartScreen has a chance to learn it's safe from people who can click past the warning, or to take it up with whoever manages your systems. There is nothing the Cygwin project folks could do to help other than never release new software. There's a bit more information on the "reputation" checking under "How Microsoft Defender SmartScreen works when a user tries to run an app" at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-smartscreen/microsoft-defender-smartscreen-set-individual-device (For the sake of explicitness, I am a Microsoft employee these days, but SmartScreen is nothing to do with my role at Microsoft, and Cygwin is at best tangential. I don't have any more knowledge or influence in this area than any non-employee.)
