I am getting the same following output issue when ever I use git branch

>git branch
Cygwin WARNING:
  Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer.  This typically occurs if you're using
  an older Cygwin version on a newer Windows.  Please update to the latest
  available Cygwin version from https://cygwin.com/.  If the problem persists,
  please see https://cygwin.com/problems.html

>git version
git version 2.48.1.windows.1

You're probably on an Insider version of Windows, which would have been important to add to the report. Be that as it may, I am convinced that this is fixed via git-for-windows/msys2-runtime#86. Please test the latest snapshot.

@dscho - Ah great thanks ! Yes I am on Insider. Sorry I should have said.

Wonderful that works a treat. Many thanks :)

P.S. I might well go back to normal Windows as its annoyingly slow UI wise at times.

Ah, I marked #5479 and #5480 as duplicates of this issue by mistake, I meant marking them as duplicates of #5447 😊
