Same here. Running usr/bin/mintty.exe works to some extend.

msys2_shell.cmd also works in a limited way. But is not usable for mingw64.

There is a pull request to fix this issue. Meanwhile MINGW64 can be launched from Command Prompt with this command C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -no-start -mingw64.

Confirm. Windows 7 SP1 64bit.

Quick fix - downgrade the msys2-launcer package. If a package was installed at an earlier stage, and the pacman cache was not cleaned, install an earlier version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. For example type in cmd:

C:\msys64\usr\bin\pacman.exe -U "C:\msys64\var\cache\pacman\pkg\msys2-launcher-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"

Otherwrice, download http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-launcher-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst first.

hm, I've downgraded it in the repo for now

[lazka]

I pushed a new version. Does it work better?

[podsvirov]

The consoles from the msys2-launcher-1.3-1 package are launched. Errors don't pop up.

[lazka]

Thanks.

For some reason it worked fine with ucrt which I happened to build with when testing.

Sorry for the breakage.
