Hello,
step to reproduce

you can run some program like ls.exe or other from command promtp with no
warning
C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe

kb5003697
every cygwin command that you run from command prompt you have this warning
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
i see no warning with other microsoft windows version and no problem with
cygwin 32 bit .
if i uninstall
