 # Known issues
 * On Windows 10 before 1703, or when Developer Mode is turned off, special permissions are required when cloning repositories with symbolic links, therefore support for symbolic links is disabled by default. Use `git clone -c core.symlinks=true <URL>` to enable it, see details [here](https://gitforwindows.org/symbolic-links).
 * If configured to use Plink, you will have to connect with [putty](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) first and accept the host key.
-* Some console programs, most notably non-MSYS2 Python, PHP, Node and OpenSSL, interact correctly with MinTTY only when called through `winpty` (e.g. the Python console needs to be started as `winpty python` instead of just `python`).
 * If you specify command-line options starting with a slash, POSIX-to-Windows path conversion will kick in converting e.g. "`/usr/bin/bash.exe`" to "`C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe`". When that is not desired -- e.g. "`--upload-pack=/opt/git/bin/git-upload-pack`" or "`-L/regex/`" -- you need to set the environment variable `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` temporarily, like so:
 
   > `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 git blame -L/pathconv/ msys2_path_conv.cc`
