The Git for Windows project, however, does ship Git bash, and you can report this problem to them at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues. I would suggest reading the contributor documentation and seeing if you can pin down more about why it's not working, since the report as it stands seems unlikely to be resolved. I feel confident that Git for Windows 2.50 actually works fine for many people on Windows 11 Pro, so the more information you can provide about what might be going on, the more likely it is that your bug will be addressed. Best of luck with your problem. -- brian m. carlson (they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2025-07-17 17:26 Subject: Re: Git bash 2.50.0(2) not working on windows 11 PRO 64bit Message-ID: <572ec2d0-b587-9cf1-7643-1a0f3e59c268@gmx.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/572ec2d0-b587-9cf1-7643-1a0f3e59c268%40gmx.de In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Fabio, On Mon, 7 Jul 2025, Fabio Frumento wrote: > After upgrading from 2.49 to 2.50 git bash won’t start anymore, a prompt > window shortly appears and close immediately, downgrading to 2.49 solve > the issue > > So 2.50 don’t work on windows 11 Pro Maybe v2.50.1 does? If not, please run `& "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -li` and see whether that reproduces the error (in which case the terminal window won't close immediately, giving you ample time to copy/paste the error message).
