I had a popup notification saying that a problem needs to be solved with Cygwin.
Cygwin seems to useful for developers - I only use my laptop for the most simple of uses.
I have found that it is difficult to uninstall.
One question I have, is is there a security risk with Cygwin?
Can I remove the main part of Cygwin using the simplest way, or is it best to keep it and keep it updated?
Why has Dell put this program (which can not be easily uninstalled) on my laptop and looks so complicated?
I AM ONLY A BASIC USER!
Thanks
