To repeat, it’s only a problem on Windows 11. What if you change the contents of the GIT_EDITOR (or EDITOR - whichever is set) environment variable to contain forward slashes? That is, for the pathname to read "C:/Program Files/..."? If that does not work, what if you replace "C:/" with "/c/" - that is, for the pathname to read "/c/Program files/..."? Please note that depending on where this variable is set (in the "System" block of setting or "User") you might need to reboot or relogin, correspondingly in order for the setting to be applied to your environment. Also please check the core.editor configuration setting - it might be set, and then you should try to modify it instead [3]. While we're at it, such issues are better discussed on the dedicated mailing list for GfW [1].
