Cygwin is a free and open-source Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. There is an on-going effort to support Cygwin in Python. I create this meta-issue to track other Cygwin sub-issues.

mimalloc: warning: cannot decommit OS memory (error: 22 (0x16), address: 0x20000430000, size: 0x1bd0000 bytes)
