Mintty: “Git Bash here” is not working when opening by right click on windows 7

Created on 16 Jun 2020 · 8Comments · Source: mintty/mintty

I installed Git version 2.27.0.windows.1 .
I tried to open Git Bash by right click, then it created a file mintty.exe.stackdump in the same directory but git bash not started.
Please Help me...
When I tried to read mintty.exe.stackdump, then I have seen this -->
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=003003B6 eax=00000000 ebx=0045028B ecx=0022C5CC edx=77B470B4 esi=004A0410 edi=80000000 ebp=0022CB48 esp=0022C614 program=C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe, pid 1907, thread main cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 0022CB48 003003B6 (20041370, 2004137A, 0022CD28, 6100AFA5) 0022CD28 6100AFA5 (00000000, 0022CD84, 61009DD0, 00000000) 0022CD84 610088B2 (00000000, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) End of stack trace

You may have mintty 3.1.6 installed which had a problem on Windows 7 and also older Windows 10 versions (#1001). Please upgrade.

OK, apparently the newest release of Git for Windows comes with mintty 3.1.6 which is unfortunate.
Please report to them that mintty should be updated to 3.1.8.

Where to report @mintty ?

Please test the latest snapshot of Git for Windows. The latest official release of Git for Windows was published at a time when v3.1.6 was still current.
