No, I do not think so, as Cygwin works fine if I install it on NTFS.
WIndows DLLS should be fine, and the system is up to date with patches
and has a support contract.
But Cygwin fails if I install it on a Windows network share. Same
installation procedure (.\setup-x86_64.exe -q --no-write-registry
--no-admin --root %cd%
--no-desktop --site "https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin"),
just different drive (N: instead of C:)
