Replace PuTTY with this terminal emulator for Cygwin that features a Windows user interface without requiring any display server

1. Mintty Config
2. Mintty Download

mintty is a lightweight, portable application that was developed so that it can replace PuTTY by serving you as a terminal emulator for Cygwin (the Unix-like environment for Windows operating systems) on your computer. This tool was designed to help seasoned computer users such as software developers, coders and programmers get the most out of their setup.

It is worth mentioning that, in a similar manner to other pty-based Cygwin terminals, this application cannot possibly server as a complete replacement for Windows' native Command Prompt utility and can only serves some specific purposes.

mintty comes with a native Windows user interface and does not require a display server to run on the target computer. More so, the terminal emulation of this application aims to be compatible with xterm, which is an improvement from the terminal emulation and Windows frontend components of PuTTY.

The processes running within mintty communicate with the help of the POSIX API (which is provided by Cygwin), while the user interface is implemented making use of the Windows API.

It provides users with a whole bunch of cool features such as 256-colour and True-Colour support, wide range of character encoding support, Emoji support, alternative fonts, colour schemes, drag & drop capabilities as well as virtual tabs.

Hi,

I invoked Mintty from the shortcut that Cygwin creates in my Start menu.
It runs this command:

This is because I switched from Bash (the standard) to ZSH + Oh-my-ZSH, which I like much more.
Just for checking. I also reverted the shortcut back to it's original state, being:

At this point I did some new discoveries. It turns out, that in both situations everything is working just fine, as long as I just launch via the start menu or directly via the shortcut.

I am however, using Launchy to be able to quickly start stuff by hitting alt-space, typing a few letters, and hitting enter. It now seems that the problem lies in using Launchy to start Cygwin, because that's the only way I am getting this detaching error..

However, no other program started showing problematic behaviour with Launchy after updating Win10 to build 10586, only Mintty. It might be therefor possible that this is somehow a thing where Mintty is unable to fork off Launchy, therefor declaring defeat and showing a notification.

I tried updating Mintty but it yesterday seemed that I was already running the latest version that is available for download. I will try your update to see if it makes any difference and let you know.

I tried adding -d to the Mintty command ends up with a window with black text on a red background saying Failed to fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable. DLL rebasing may be required. See 'rebaseall --help'.

Can you please provide a link to the download page of the latest Mintty that I should try? I end up on Google Code but those versions are outdated as far as I can tell.
