Unable to push, because "find: explorer.exe: no such file or directory"

I experience the same behavior as in #3208

The app worked well for a while, but suddenly when pushing, windows explorer is being opened and the action is never completed.

Status tells find: 'explorer.exe': No such file or directory.

App version: 1.0.9 OS: Windows 10 64 bit Git version: 2.10 (something) windows Repository: https://github.com/Mrkvozrout/ts100

Did not help:

• update to latest 1.0.10
• update git to 2.15.1.windows.2
• remove repository from app and readd it again
• remove .git/hook folder with its content

git push from command line works fine.

under .git/hooks I have:

Log for actions - start app, create new branch, push:

For new empty branch or new branch with commited new file and cmd commands…

git --version
set GIT_TRACE=1
set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
git push origin master --progress

…I get:

git version 2.15.1.windows.2
set GIT_TRACE=1
set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
git push origin master --progress
Everything up-to-date

^ Strange, earlier I was able to push changes. No file or other details generated.

For ` git config -l --show-origin` I get:

I do not hav LFS:

$ git lfs track
git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Let me know if you need anything else or what should I try.

@shiftkey So I investigated furthed this SoundMixer executable and it seems to be a mining malware.

I took the steps from here to remove it and the pushing works again - so no problem with the app in the end. The malware tried to run the mining code each time cmd was started.

Thanks for your time and for the question about SoundMixer 😉
