cygwin very slow w/ SEP 11.0.6

[Migration User]

cygwin is very slow, even to return a command prompt with SEP 11.0.6 installed.  a simple carriage return causes a 10 second delay for a command prompt to reappear. i have narrowed it down to the 'proactive threat protection'.  if i disable it, all is normal.  i have tried adding some applications (bash.exe, e.g.)  into the centralized exceptions with no success.

thanks for your help.

Get the latest cygwin1.dll and copy it over the old cygwin1.dll and it will work

Remove app/dev component by
add/remove programs - sep- change - modify - remove app/device control ..next..install
reboot the machine try launching your app.
