About

Get that Linux feeling on Windows. Cygwin is a large collection of GNU and open-source tools that provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. And a DLL (cygwin1.dll) that provides substantial POSIX API functionality. Cygwin is not a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from the source if you want it to run on Windows. It can't magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86_64 versions of Windows, starting with Windows Vista. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Keep in mind that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin distribution release number.

About

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I was really hoping this app could fix a Windows 10 system which has refused to update since it was new. I'm a software engineer, and I have at least 100 hours into fixing this dysfunctionality over more than 5 years. Microsoft ought to produce such a tool, because they can put their hands on anything and everything they ought to need to repair their fragile update wares.

Cons

  • The first time I ran the tool, I believe it found 3 "recommended fixes" and 8 "optional fixes." You then click a "Fix Windows Update" button; and the machine is busy for awhile. Then it asks you to reboot the machine. When the machine reboots, a command window opens with a message that it's busy fixing the machine... everything is alright... the window will automatically close when it's finished. There's no failure error messages. It informs you, "This will take a few minutes." There's no progress indicator mechanism at all. Anyway, two-and-a-half hours later, the window still hadn't closed. Figuring the process must have crashed or run into a forbidding obstruction. I have run it several times since. It now finds 2 recommended fixes and 9 optional. I have selected all every try; with the same result each time.
