Answer 1

After enabling Mandatory ALSR by default on Windows 10.

I need to disable ForceRelocateImages to all git-bash executables. Todo this, create a small PowerShell script or type direct in PowerShell the code below. You need to run PowerShell as an administrator.

Get-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\*.exe" | %{ Set-ProcessMitigation -Name $_.Name -Disable ForceRelocateImages }
Get-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\*.exe" | %{ Set-ProcessMitigation -Name $_.Name -Disable ForceRelocateImages }
Get-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\Git\*.exe" | %{ Set-ProcessMitigation -Name $_.Name -Disable ForceRelocateImages }

After that, git-bash works fine.
